Rev. Kathleen Remund has been the ordained minister for First Congregational UCC of Menomonie since September of 2016. Prior to taking this call, she served United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities for ten years in the area of church relations. While at United, she helped support the development of the Kaleo Center for Social Justice and Transformation and served as the Center’s assistant director.

Kathleen’s path to ordained ministry was more of a meandering stream, filled with detours and surprises. Over the years, she worked in feminist and peace-oriented nonprofits, participated in the leadership of a lay-led Christian community, was employed doing quality assurance research for a healthcare company, married and began raising two children—all before returning to seminary in the fall of 2001. Her relationship with the church and Christianity has been full of ups and downs, but her love for Jesus and her mystical experiences of God kept tugging her towards theological reflection and eventually, ordained ministry. (If you want to know about her theology, ask her about fractals and chaos theory!)

She and her wife Diane moved to Menomonie from Minneapolis in 2016 when Kathleen was called to First Congregational UCC and have been delighted to root themselves here in the Red Cedar Watershed. Their blended family includes a dog, two cats, five children and three grandchildren.

A member of the Stockbridge Munsee nation, Karen brings her Native American traditions and understanding into powerful conversations with Christian faith and practice.
