Our Staff
Rev. Lee Anne Washington – Minister
Rev. Lee Anne brings a deep love of learning, a keen sense of humor, and a passion for interfaith wisdom to her ministry at the Unitarian Universalist Church of the North Hills. She was born, raised, and educated in Virginia. She holds a Master of Divinity from Union Presbyterian Seminary, a Juris Doctor from the University of Virginia, and a Bachelors of Art in English from the College of William and Mary. A lifelong seeker and teacher, she delights in finding universal truths that echo across religious and philosophical traditions — especially when they offer ethical clarity, spiritual nourishment, or a good story.
She believes that church should be an interactive, joy-filled experience, where practices like gratitude, generosity, and other spiritual exercises draw people into deeper connection with themselves, each other, and the sacred. Ever seeking the co-creation of the beloved community, Rev. Lee Anne creates space for meaning, beauty, and belonging. She believes that an important part of joining a liberal religious community is that being connected to each other magnifies the joy and diminishes the pain.
In addition to serving as our minister, Rev. Lee Anne finds joy in designing and providing wedding ceremonies, memorial services, and child dedications for those who do not have a religious community of their own.
