Lise Adams Sherry has served as AUUF’s Contract Minister since August 2020, and is on a path to becoming the Fellowship’s “settled” minister. She grew up in Oregon as part of a blended family. Her main interests growing up were dancing and theatre--she performed a lot! Another highlight was learning French and spending her junior year of college in France. Lise is married to Nelson and together they have two boys (Kennen and Derek), and a new daughter-in-law, Maria). They’ve lived in Alaska, British Columbia, Oregon, Illinois, and Massachusetts. Lise received her M.Div. from Meadville Lombard in Chicago. Her religious life is informed by nature, Buddhism and the Judeo-Christian tradition. Social justice, multi-generational worship services, and pastoral care are some of her favorite parts of ministry. Lise also enjoys hiking, bicycling, reading, gardening, movies, traveling, and learning about other cultures.
