"Reverend Susan Van Dreser has been the minister of the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Winnipeg since 1989. She grew up in Vermont, earned her BA in Creative Writing and English from Beloit College in Wisconsin, and her M. Div. from Harvard University School of Divinity.
After spending two years in Nicaragua, first doing peace work and then living on a mountain farm, Susan returned to the U.S. to serve three churches in northern Pennsylvania before coming to Winnipeg.
Since coming to Winnipeg Susan has served our association as a Good Officer’s Minister and has been president of the Unitarian Universalist Ministers of Canada. She currently chairs the Regional Sub-Committee on Candidacy of Canada (RSCC), a subcommittee of the Ministerial Fellowship Committee that overseas the formation of ministers. In Winnipeg she has been active in the Interfaith Roundtable and in support of gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgendered, and two-spirited rights.
In our church, Rev. Susan Van Dreser leads worship services, provides private counsel, teaches adult classes, leads new comer groups, provides rites of passages such as child dedications, marriages and memorial services. She also lectures in the community and leads workshops when requested.
Susan is the mother of two young-adult daughters. She is a voracious reader who loves to preach and to counsel, and in her spare time she gardens and binds books.
She may be reached through the church office at...."
