Speaker: DRE Corinna Whiteaker-Lewis
Over twenty-five years ago, when Corinna and her husband decided to marry, they found the First UU Church of Austin and never left. Having been raised without a religious tradition, Unitarian Universalism is the only faith she has ever known. Corinna served First UU in many different capacities during her years there, and taught Sunday school classes for five. In early 2016, she decided to pursue becoming a Religious Educator as a vocation and interned both at First Church Austin and Live Oak UU for a year. In February of 2017, we commissioned Corinna as our first Director of Religious Education. It’s been a joy to have her bring her knowledge and skills to our San Gabriel community. She is currently in the UUA’s credentialing program, scheduled to become a Credentialed Religious Educator in April 2020.
