​Meet the UniLu Team!​

UniLu Palo Alto
Our Ministers... Every member of the congregation is a minister.  Each of us is given opportunities in daily life to be about the work of sharing God's gracious and redeeming word. Join us in the work of study, worship, fellowship, and works of justice.

Rev. Dr. Tim Rosenberger grew up in Cleveland, OH and graduated from Georgetown University in 2016. He paid his way through an AB in English and Performing Arts by working more than a dozen jobs, as diverse as licensed realtor and dance club bouncer. Vr. Tim then worked as a management consultant with McKinsey & Company while completing an M.Div. at United Lutheran Seminary and a D.Min. at the Rawlings School of Divinity. He concurrently completed 4 Clinical Pastoral Education Units with the Christ Hospital and served as a field education student at Messiah Lutheran Church. Tim holds an LL.M. from the University of Vienna and is completing a JD/MBA at Stanford University, where he is President of the Federalist Society and serves on Law Review. He has worked on the policy teams at the Cicero Institute and Hoover Institution, studying the intersection of law, faith, and business – with a particular focus on helping America’s overlooked populations build lives of dignity and purpose. Vicar Tim is leading our congregation as we await our interim pastor.​​

Our church sits in an ancestral homeland of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe. Christian colonizers forced their ancestors into missions and seized their land. We grieve the loss of indigenous lives, the destruction of indigenous culture, and the commodification of indigenous land. God calls us to a right relationship with this land and its past, present, and future caretakers. Muwekma neighbors are a sovereign people. May we live in solidarity with them and repair Creation with all.
