Rev. Merry Ann Friend, Prayer Chaplain Coordinator
Reverend Merry Ann has learned throughout her years of service that “Reverend” is a verb, not just a title. She cares deeply about ministry and considers it her purpose in this life. Reverend Merry Ann is dedicated to the Unity movement and sees each person as an expression of the Divine as well a valuable human being. She is committed to practicing Unity Principles, which have enriched her life as she moves through the very humbling experience of living in the world today. Her heart-centered approach to ministry focuses on being hands-on with the congregation and engaging the power of prayer.
Ordained by Unity Worldwide Ministries in 2017, Reverend Merry Ann served as Senior Minister at Unity of the Mother Lode before joining Unity of Stockton as Associate Minister in March of 2022.
Reverend Merry Ann is recently married and enjoys living in Angels Camp, California with her husband John and their fur babies - two cats, Bobbie Joe and Maggie, and two dogs, Chloe and Lola. When not at Unity or home, she also loves to spend time in nature.
