Beyond Countryside: Showing Up for Democracy

Faith in action takes many forms. During the 2026 midterm elections, UCC members across the country served as nonpartisan poll chaplains and volunteer poll workers, helping ensure a peaceful, fair, and accessible voting process.

Countryside was among them. Senior Minister Rev. Dr. Jenny Shultz-Thomas served as a poll chaplain, while Director of Finance and Administration Dan Loven-Crum and Director of Arts & Worship Adam Witte volunteered as poll workers.

Their participation is part of a larger story of faithful engagement and love of neighbor. See the full story and photos, including Jenny at the polls, on the UCC website.
