Staff Resources

Reverend Erin McCabe
Lead Minister

Our new lead minister at Unity Village Chapel is Rev. Erin McCabe. McCabe’s refreshing style brings a new flare to Unity. Indiana born, Colorado grown, Kansas City polished, and New Jersey primed, Erin returns to Unity Village to serve as the Senior Minister of Unity Village Chapel.

Ordained at Unity Village in 2005, she hit the road with her message and soul-filled music. After two years and visiting over 50 Unity centers from coast to coast, McCabe settled in the Garden State of NJ just outside of NYC. With a dynamic and diverse group of amazing individuals, she joyfully served the growing and thriving center at Unity of Montclair for over four years.

As a former environmental studies major and elementary school teacher, she holds tight to the Unity mission of creating a world that works for all. She pioneered and continues to direct Campaign for Consciousness, a virtual community using positive affirmation for global transformation. Outside of Unity, you may see her strumming her guitar, camping at a folk festival, wading in a river, making crafts & pottery, enjoying a drum circle, rollerblading or teaching a yoga class. Whatever the venue - a coffee shop, local hot spot or Unity Center, McCabe inspires with her unique blend of passion, insight and spirit. She weaves together the realms of the secular and the sacred as she shares her message, music and authenticity.
