Our Minister and Staff
Our Minister
Reverend Margo Rinehart
The Reverend Margo Rinehart has been the minister at TUUC since October of 2024. She serves Tahoma through welcoming people from diverse theological and religious backgrounds and spiritual beliefs on their journeys to learn from one another, search for truth and answer the call of love and justice.
In 2018, she earned a Master of Divinity degree from Seattle University School of Theology and Ministry, a school with a strong commitment to social action. Since that time, she has served UU congregations in Oregon and Montana and returned to the Puget Sound area in 2024 to join TUUC. As her work with Tahoma is part-time, she also shares some of her time with a UU congregation on Bainbridge Island.
In addition to her call to ministry, Reverend Margo worked for over 20 years as a social worker. She resides in Kitsap County and is often visiting with extended family and her son, Ben, who lives in Seattle and works as a policy analyst. Reverend Margo is an avid cyclist, emerging watercolor painter, a paper artist and engages in spiritual practices through the Buddhist Insight community.
Reverend Margo’s office hours are usually Mondays, 10am – 3pm. (Church related meetings, workshops, other professional commitments or vacations may impact this schedule.) Other times are possible with advance notice. Her schedule for the month is always posted outside her door.
You can contact Rev. Margo by phoning TUUC @ 253.474.4646 and leaving a message or by sending an email – minister@tahomauu.com. You can also connect via Zoom with a prior arrangement by phone or email.
