The Reverend Steven Epperson came to this congregation in 2002 as the parish minister to fulfill the traditional role. The Unitarian Church of Vancouver has been active in recent years in expanding its ministries. Reverend Epperson has promoted the concept of shared ministry, in which the congregation ministers to each other. Since the congregation is active in social justice causes, it now sponsors a community minister, Laura Imayoshi, whose ministry extends to the Downtown East Side. Finally, the congregation is engaged in establishing ministries on university and college campuses, and among young adults.
