Our Ministers
Rev. Abbey Tennis, Lead Minister

Abbey Tennis is passionate about vibrant, robustly spiritual, urban ministry in a multi-racial, multi-cultural, multi-generational setting. Her great loves in congregational ministry include worship leadership, collaborative leadership development, institutional anti-racism and anti-oppression work, and the building of resilient networks of pastoral care. A graduate of Starr King School for the Ministry, she was ordained at All Souls Unitarian Church in Washington, DC, where she served as Intern Minister. In 2015, Rev. Abbey completed service as the Interim Advancement Director at Starr King School for the Ministry, overseeing the seminary’s fundraising and Institutional Advancement work, and served as the Minister for Worship and Pastoral Care at the First Unitarian Church of Oakland in Oakland, California from 2015-2016. She is honored to currently serve as the settled minister at the First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

September 27. Fail Often
Service led by: Rev. Abbey Tennis
“Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly,” said Robert F. Kennedy. How many times do we choose not to act because we fear we will fail? In our relationships and our aspirations, how can we move through fear of failure to courageous living?
