Our Team

It takes team work to make God’s Dream work—here’s the Cedar Park United team!

On June 1, 2025, we said goodbye to Rev. Dr. Elisabeth Jones who retired after 14 years of ministry with us as our Lead Minister.

We now look forward to welcoming Rev. Dr. Michael Caveney, who will begin his ministry with us as Lead Minister as of July 1, 2026. To find out more about him, visit the Minister Search page.

Staff Team

As a United Church, we are led, or governed, by volunteers who are elected to serve on our Congregational Board.

The Board is responsible for the strategic planning and oversight of our programmes, ministries and budget. It is where, together, we engage in holy conversation about how we live the Dream of God.

If you feel called to serve the community of Cedar Park United as a member of the Board, please reach out to the Board Chair, Elsa Dondenaz: boardchair@cedarparkunited.org
