Ministers, clergy, Board of Trustees, Licensed Practitioners, congregation, friends, family, and beloved community—welcome.
Today we joyfully install Rev. Michelle Arellano as the Senior Minister and Spiritual Director of this Center. This installation marks the beginning of a shared covenant—one rooted in mutual support, growth, and thriving. We affirm that as Rev. Michelle flourishes in her ministry, the community flourishes alongside her, and as the community grows in purpose and vitality, so does she.
This occasion celebrates the gifts, wisdom, and leadership Rev. Michelle brings, as well as the dedication, vision, and love this community offers in return. Together, we are committing to a culture of partnership, spiritual growth, and collective well-being, where each person is encouraged to contribute, belong, and thrive.
Your presence today reflects the strength of this community and its commitment to a joyful, healthy, and vibrant ministry. As we move forward together, we do so with gratitude, hope, and a shared vision for what is possible.
