Rev. Maeba is passionate about supporting people of all faith, and non-faith, backgrounds and is committed to promoting social justice, interfaith dialogue, and the mind-body-spirit connection. As a Christian Minister, Rev.

She is an advocate for marriage equality and a believer in the UCC tenant of Radical Welcome!
Rev. Maeba believes in the power of love to transform relationships, communities, and the world. She seeks to support couples in creating not only a ceremony that reflects their relationship up until this point, but also one that will be the foundation for a life of happiness together.
When she is not chaplaining college students or officiating weddings, Rev. Maeba enjoys preaching, cooking delicious healthy food, and engaging in her aerial-yoga and meditation practices.
Rev. Maeba offers additional pre-marital counseling on a case-by-case basis.
