Celebrating the Ordination of Chad Snyder
With gratitude and joy, we announce the ordination of Chad Snyder as a Unitarian Universalist minister. Chad’s life and ministry are shaped by careful listening, respect for human dignity, and a deep trust in the power of community, all rooted in a theology that centers our connectedness and interdependence in an uncertain world.
Chad graduated from United Theological Seminary in 2025 and received the 2025 Lydia Myrl Kapp Award for Outstanding Work in Preaching. He is a long-time member of Merging Waters UU Congregation, where he served as a Commissioned Lay Minister, and was a ministerial intern here at MVUUF last year.
Please join us for Chad’s ordination service at 2:00 p.m. on January 17, 2026, here at Minnesota Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship! A reception to follow around 3:15 in Fellowship Hall.
