Rev. Eve Williams is an Ordained Elder in the United Methodist Church. Having worked as a lay person in her home church for several years, she finally discerned a call to ministry and earned her MDiv from Candler School of Theology at Emory University.
Prior to attending seminary, Eve worked in multiple settings outside of the church context, including a stint in the convention and trade show install/dismantle industry. That, combined with her time spent working with individuals and families in crisis, as well as her own personal experience of being a single mother trying to make it through graduate school, as well as being sole caregiver of her elderly mother, Eve has developed a passion, and a gift, for identifying big problems and breaking them down into smaller, more manageable pieces. All of these experiences also instilled in her the value of relationship and connection, realizing that none of us can possibly do any of this alone, nor were we ever intended to try.
Eve is the loving mother of an adult son, two dogs, and two cats and finds her greatest solace in meditative prayer, her garden, her family, and her dear friends.

Paul has served in various pastoral and chaplaincy roles across California and Arizona, with a passion for intergenerational and multiethnic ministries. He helped launch the Tucson House of Prayer and led the successful merger of two congregations into an inclusive, Reconciling United Methodist Church.
Paul and his wife Julie, a professional musician, are proud parents of three children.
