Rev. Elaine Strawn
Our Fellowship has been in existence in Wayne County since 1972. In 1992 we called our first minister, and in 1996 we purchased our first building at Columbus and Saybolt in Wooster. We presently have about 150 members.

The UU Fellowship of Wayne County is governed by a Board consisting of our minister, V. Elaine Strawn, and seven persons elected from among the congregation's members. The minister is chosen by the Fellowship. Standing committees such as the Religious Education Committee, the Sunday Services Committee, and the Facilities Committee also do much of the work. We are financially supported by contributions from members and friends.
