Cameron was called to serve United Church of Chapel Hill in March 2018 after serving progressive, justice-seeking congregations in Grinnell and Des Moines, Iowa. In the Chapel Hill communities where our church is present, Cameron has become an active participant in conversations about racial equity, immigration, and housing. He is especially an advocate for the Inter-Faith Council’s mission to address the root causes of poverty and homelessness in our community. His service to our denomination, the United Church of Christ, includes a two year term as chair of the national Board of Directors from 2021 to 2023. Cameron is a graduate of Davidson College and Vanderbilt Divinity School, and holds a Doctor of Ministry degree from the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. Cameron and his husband, Jackson den Herder, an architect with the firm BNIM, reside in the Rogerson-Oakwood neighborhood of Chapel Hill.
