Caroline Bright

Reverend Caroline Bright is a Unitarian Universalist Minister currently leading the entrepreneurial ministry initiative The Wherever Congregation. Passionate about creating inclusive spiritual spaces, Caroline focuses on building a welcoming and supportive community for people at every stage of life’s journey.

A proud Vermonter with a vibrant and diverse background, Caroline was crowned Miss Vermont in 2010. Her experience in public speaking and community engagement during her time as a titleholder helped shape her calling to ministry and advocacy. She later earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Saint Michael's College, followed by a Master of Divinity with concentrations in Chaplaincy and Faith Formation Pedagogy from Meadville Lombard Theological School in 2024.

From 2022 to 2024, Caroline served as the Brad and Catherine Greely Ministerial Intern at Main Line Unitarian Church, where she honed her skills in pastoral care, worship leadership, and community outreach. In September 2024, she was ordained by the MLUC congregation.

Caroline and her husband, Joel, balance life between Philadelphia and Vermont, raising their three young children—Betsy, Toby, and Birdie—while navigating the unique challenges of military family life, as Joel serves in the Vermont Army National Guard.

Alongside her ministerial work, Caroline also works as a flight attendant, bringing her trademark humor, warmth, and adaptability to every facet of her busy life. With a deep commitment to nurturing spiritual growth, she is especially dedicated to supporting new parents and empowering women as they navigate life’s transitions and challenges.
