Meet Our Team

I came to WellSprings right after graduating from Divinity School in 2013, and knew then – and now – that this is one of the most fascinating spiritual communities I’ve ever encountered. It’s a place where I can grow spiritually as a minister, right alongside my congregants. It’s a community of people who are wonderfully open-hearted, original, purposeful, and connected. This congregation is doing something new and different with Unitarian Universalism, and my call to ministry has always been around…

My first day at WellSprings was the first day of WellSprings. I’ve been here since before the congregation had a name. You could say I’ve had a meaningful, fulfilling, enriching ministry here. But that wouldn’t quite be the truth. I’ve had meaningful, fulfilling, enriching ministries at WellSprings. Different seasons, different roles, all valuable. And that’s what I love about this place.

But most importantly, I am grateful for the opportunity to plant a…

Hi! I’m Jessica. My job here is to tell WellSprings’ story – both internally to our members and friends, and externally to our visitors, our partners, and to folks who just want to know what we’re all about. I handle the communications for our congregation, so if you found us as the result of a social media post, a podcast, or even a web search, I’m very glad to hear that. Personally, I had never even heard of Unitarian Universalism…

I consider myself very fortunate to have joined the WellSprings staff team last September as Office Coordinator. After a 27 year career in Culinary Management at QVC followed by a career path in the non-profit world as Kitchen Manager at the Chester County Food Bank, I was looking for an opportunity outside the culinary field to put down roots. Not only do my responsibilities at WellSprings allow me to interact with a welcoming and friendly congregation, but during Sunday Service…
