Reverend Seth Fisher

Minister

Rev. Seth is originally from the Pacific Northwest and lived in Chicago for close to 20 years. Before full time ministry he worked in healthcare, law, hospitality, retail, entertainment, real estate, construction…and probably a few others things! He comes from a working-class background and he is the first in his family to receive a university degree. He says, “I’ve been on food stamps and on sail boats and appreciated both.”

Rev. Seth graduated from Loyola University Chicago with a Master of Divinity degree in May of 2013. He served The Unitarian Church of Annapolis as Intern and then Summer Minister for a year, and was ordained to Unitarian Universalist ministry in February of 2015. He served Peoples Church of Chicago as Congregational Development Minister from 2014–2015. He also served The Unitarian Church of Evanston as a sabbatical minister for three months in early 2016. He began his ministry at First Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Hunterdon County in the summer of 2016. 

In addition to collecting a lot of work history and addresses over the years, Rev. Seth has also been a Christian, an atheist, a Buddhist and none/all of the above. He says, “I believe in a vision of the sacred that’s big enough for all of us, no matter what background we come from or how we understand our connection to the ultimate, and I believe that we can create a better world together with open hearts and open minds. I believe in love, and I believe in you.”
