Rev. Emily McGinley, Pastor, Urban Village Church (Hyde Park | Woodlawn), Macedonian Ministry Cohort Facilitator, Chicago, IL
Emily, why did you say, “Yes!” to being the Facilitator of this cohort?
“I have been blessed to participate in a few different clergy cohorts over the past few years. Each experience has been incredibly rich and a source of encouragement. At this moment, I feel ready and called to create the same kind of space for other colleagues to connect, share, and thrive in a non-competitive, inspiring community marked by mutuality, compassion, and imagination as ministers and people of faith.”
Meet Emily!
