2021 Board of Trustees
Chip Slade, President
Chip Slade was born in Longview and is a life-long Texan. He is a graduate of TCU and is now retired from a life in corporate real estate. He and his wife, Dianne, live in Spring Branch where they are active in their subdivision's H.O.A. and spend their time outdoors as much as possible. They have been married for nine years and enjoy a blended family that includes their two daughters' families, with seven grandchildren ranging from 13 months to 20 years in age. In their search for a new church home, the welcoming atmosphere of Unity of Wimberley and the love delivered by all spoke volumes. Participating in Molly Steel's Grief Class held a message meant for them and they became regular Sunday attendees and members .
Beverly Millwee, Vice President
John Criswell, Treasurer
John spent 45 years in Information Technology, with 35 years in management, giving him extensive experience in budgeting and project initiatives. He also served on a homeowners’ association board and worked closely with a large charter school. John has volunteered with Howling Moon, highway pickup and the annual church cleanup. He and his wife, Sharon, discovered Unity about 15 years ago in Dallas when Rev. Ellen was a minister there, and rediscovered her in Wimberley after they retired here in 2013. They have two boys and four grandchildren. John says, “I am honored to serve using my talents on the church board.”
Anne Hollows - Secretary
Even though she has Yankee roots, Anne graduated from TCU and has lived all over the U.S. and in England. Her 25 years as an international brand and marketing specialist took her all over the world. She also founded and grew one of the top-performing residential real estate teams in Keller Williams’ New England region. Raised Catholic, Anne has been meditating all her adult life and retains a strong interest in Eastern faith traditions. But it wasn’t until finding Unity of Wimberley and being introduced to New Thought that she found a faith community that felt right on all levels—its teachings, emphasis on service and commitment to affirmative prayer and meditation. She is a prayer chaplain and handles Unity’s Adopt-A-Highway program. Anne and her husband Steve Ulfelder relocated to Wimberley in 2018 from Massachusetts. Their blended family, which consists of four kids between the ages of 20 and 25, two dogs and a very stubborn cat, keeps them hopping.

Rev. Jill Carey, Senior Minister
Rev. Jill Carey began as our Senior Minister on April 1, 2018. Jill became Reverend Jill in 1992 when she graduated from Unity Ministerial School. After her ordination she served in a wide variety of Texas Unity churches ranging from start-ups to long-established holding many positions including senior minister. Over her 26 year ministerial career Jill has taken several breaks from being a full-time minister, but she frequently answered our calls over the years to take a Sunday now again as a guest speaker, much to our delight. We are beyond delighted now to call her our senior minister.
