Canda Lambert - Spiritual Director
After more than three years as a beloved guest speaker and co-leader of our Celtic Christian seasonal services, UWSC joyfully welcomed Canda Lambert as our Spiritual Director in January 2025. Canda brings a strong foundation in Unity teachings, years of service as a Unity Music Minister, and a deep connection to the heart-centered spirit of UWSC. Her leadership reflects compassion, spiritual wisdom, and a commitment to fostering a community rooted in Christ Consciousness and sacred service. Supported by the UWSC Board of Directors and Prayer Chaplain Team, Canda is honored to lead and grow our unique spiritual family as we continue to
evolve and shine our collective light.
Rev. Jan Sloan - Minister Emeritus
Unity Fellowship Church, now called Unity Williamsburg Spiritual Center, was organized on May 17, 1999. The initial group of seventeen like-minded people began meeting in a large room at the Life Enrichment Center in Newport News. In July of that year, Jan Sloan was hired as Spiritual Leader and office clerk. In 2000, Jan was ordained as an Independent Unity Minister. She served as Minister of Unity Fellowship Church until her retirement in August 2010. She returned briefly as interim minister, assisted by Rev. Louis Purdy, in 2015 while the church searched for a permanent minister. Unity Williamsburg Spiritual Center hosted a special 20 Year Anniversary Service in honor of Rev. Jan in May 2020. The sanctuary was filled to capacity with well wishers who shared special memories of their time in the congregation and appreciation for Rev. Jan.
On April 6, 2022, Rev. Jan completed her work on Earth and transitioned into a beautiful world of light and love. UWSC continues to be inspired by her lifetime example of faith and loving service, knowing that all is in Divine Order.
