Heidi Gudelman – I have attended Unity churches here in central Texas for many years. The beautiful land, church, music and welcoming messages touched me then and still do today. I became a member in 2017 and have participated in numerous classes, workshops, music performances, Hands on Housing and IACT events since then. I became a Prayer Chaplain in 2019 and continue serving as a Prayer Chaplain today. I served on the Transition Team and participated in various focus groups to move our congregation forward over the recent years.
My background includes working as a Program Specialist in Girl Scouting and as an Educator in several districts. I have been a High School and Elementary Teacher, Counselor and Principal. I currently work with Alternative Certification Programs mentoring first-year Teachers. As an Administrator, I have experience opening three elementary schools which required collaboration, teamwork, attention to details and working with a variety of individuals. Creating campus learning communities of excellence, compassion, and character were always at the forefront of our actions.
UCOH is a community of Spirit Centered and Spirit Led people. We have a positive future ahead of us because of the beautiful and important work that others have done before us and the work we are continuing to do every day. I offer my heart, my time and abilities to serve our congregation. I will continue to put God first, be Spirit Led, live the Unity Principles, celebrate our diversity, and empower each other to transform our lives.
