**Our Staff**

Our Staff is dedicated to expressing and expanding the Christ Light in every aspect of Unity of Austin’s ministry.

Rev. Carol Moncada, Associate Minister
Shortly after moving to Austin in 1992, Rev. Carol began attending her first Unity church, Unity of Austin. The Unity Principles became her map to a transformative life. As a member she served in various capacities including the Board of Trustees (President, Vice-President, Secretary), Adult Sunday School Facilitator, Worship Assistant and Guest Speaker. After retiring from the City of Austin in 2015 she followed the calling to ministry in a deeper way and began her ministerial studies with Unity Urban Ministerial School. After graduation and a nine month Internship, she was ordained a Unity Minister in June 2020. Guided by Spirit and fortified with her transformative map to share, she came to Unity of Austin as Associate Minister with a focus on Youth & Family Ministry and Prayer Team Ministry.

Sharon Bourbonnais, Music Director
Sharon brings the Austin music sound to Unity of Austin with heart and soul. Her amazing piano talent and heart-strong vocals get everybody singin’ and swingin’! Sharon holds a degree from UT-Austin in Music Education and continues to open the world of music to young keyboardists. You’ll find her in Austin and on tour with her group Tres Bourbonnais. Sharon has been Unity of Austin’s Music Director twice—from 1995-2001 and then after a fun change of scenery in Hawaii, returned to bless this ministry in 2012.
