Therese attended her first Unity service in April 1990 and became a member of the board a year later. In 1992 she started the program to become a Licensed Unity Teach, gave her first Sunday lesson in 1995 and in 1998 was awarded her license. In November 1999, she helped to co-found Unity 5 Cities and has acted in a spiritual leadership capacity by giving Sunday talks, performing weddings, teaching classes and providing counseling when needed. Therese also serves as an advisor to the board of trustees, and assists with fundraising and marketing. Her favorite part of being a Licensed Unity Teacher is giving Sunday talks, which she does with humor and compassion, drawing inspiration from many modern sources such as movies, music, and Broadway musicals, as well as more traditional books and writings.
