The Reverend Doctor Kathy Hurt.

Kathy has been a transitional and developmental minister in several churches over her 30-year career in ministry. She grew up in Texas, and life has taken her to California, Michigan, Ohio, Minnesota and Kentucky. Kathy has a doctorate in ministry from Meadville/Lombard Seminary and was ordained by Unity Church – Unitarian in St. Paul. She started out in Minnesota, helping churches do the transition work of preparing for new ministers.

Over her long career, she’s seen it all; growing churches, fellowships exploring how to hire their first full-time minister, even one church in Ohio that was liberal Baptist exploring converting to our Unitarian Universalist denomination. In between her years of formal ministry, she ran her own community ministry business, did work with women and children and at risk youth, and completed the coursework for a master’s degree in counseling. She was formerly the Senior Minister at Birmingham Unitarian Church in Michigan. Most recently; for the past two years, she has served as the interim minister at the First Unitarian Church of Louisville.
