Natalie Maxwell Fenimore

I am currently serving UUCF as Minister of Religious Exploration. For five years I served the congregation as Director of Religious Exploration.

I received my Master's of Divinity from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC, in 2010 and completed my ministerial internship at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington, VA. I entered UU ministerial fellowship in March 2010 and will be ordained at the UU Church of Rockville on Oct. 9, 2011. I have been a professional religious educator for over a decade, serving three UU congregations, and am a Credentialed Religious Educator, Master's Level. I am currently President of the Liberal Religious Educators Association (LREDA), the continental association for UU religious education professionals. I have served in lay leadership at the congregational and district-level and am a UUA Renaissance Module trainer.

Before working in religious education, I held positions as a family and child care counselor and juvenile justice reference specialist. I have an M.A. in government from Hood College and have completed graduate-level coursework in special education and juvenile justice at the George Washington University.

My family and I have been members of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Rockville, MD, for 30 years.
