Board of Directors

Board President

Melanie Raskin

I’m a writer and television producer/director/actress, running my own business communications company in Chapel Hill since 1987. I grew up in a wonderful Episcopal church but we always had Daily Word at home (my grandmother was a subscriber and Mom brought that tradition to our family). I began visiting Unity Church of Raleigh in 1987 when my mother joined the “little purple church.” I’ve been a member of UCR since the turn of the century. I have served the church as an usher, Hospitality team member, Sunrise Books team co-leader, 4T Facilitator, Caring Hearts Team Member, and member of the board of trustees. I am blessed; I love this spiritual community and the God we know. I cherish my connection to my church family as, together, we practice the presence of God through Unity Principles. A Radio, Television, Motion Picture-Writing alumna of UNC, I’ve lived in Chapel Hill with my wonderful husband, Jeff, since 1985. I enjoy Snap the wonder cat, cooking, writing fiction, traveling, walking, reading, movies, spending time with friends and family and volunteering at the Carrboro Farmers' Market.

Vice President

My husband and I moved to North Carolina from Indiana 24 years ago. We were married in a Unity church 23 years ago and tried a few area churches over the years. But we found our first church home here at Unity Church of Raleigh in 2007. The welcoming energy enveloped us and we knew we were spiritually home for the first time in our lives.
