Our Board of Trustees
CLARENCE WILLIAMSON, PRESIDENT
Clarence has been a member of Unity for 20 years. He is on the Board of Trustees to serve in the next chapter of the growth, spirit, and unity of Unity Church of Practical Christianity and the Greater Memphis Community.
His 16 years experience in working with people in public service, and 20 plus years of management in the food and chemical industries utilized his communication, planning and organizational skills and talents. He’s proud to say that during his ten years as a substance abuse counselor, Unity teachings allowed him to share the love and empathy that God had intended.
His desire is to serve UCPC, using his previous two Board experiences in Unity and in other churches to maximize his time, talents and tithes.

KEITA BEY, secretary
Keita writes: "I felt it is again my time to offer my service to the Board of Trustees. I have enjoyed giving my time and talents in various capacities, including board stewardship. After fifteen years or so of being off the board, I will have to say, this time it feels right to join this sacred service, if I am elected. It will be my honor.
Penny Hathaway, treasurer
Penny serves as treasurer for the board. She also uses her business skills managing the church book store, where you can see her smiling face most Sundays before and after church.

Tim writes: Growing up in a fundamentalist, evangelical church with its hellfire and damnation teachings, along with decades of struggling with God and religion, has given me a deep appreciation for the peace, love, and acceptance of UCPC and of Charles Fillmore’s teachings. I am an active member of the Usher Team, entrusted with assisting in counting the offering. As a member of this team, I also make myself available to assist with things like memorial services and other events here at the church.
BARBARA THOMPSON, past president
Barbara has been in Unity for 30+ years. She attends Sunday service and volunteers as Platform Assistant and serves as an Usher regularly. She supports our fundraising efforts and our community outreach efforts.
She writes: "I am committed to the health and growth of this ministry in the Memphis area and with 30+ years of studying and practicing Unity principles, I can continue to be an effective leader of UCPC. I am retired and have ample time to serve the church community."
