The Reverend Delle McCormick is an ordained minister of the United Church of Christ and worked previously as Pastor and Director of the Cuernavaca Center for Intercultural Dialog on Development (CCIDD) in Cuernavaca, Mexico - an organization committed to building bridges of understanding and solidarity across the border much as BorderLinks does. Later she served as pastoral agent in partnership between Common Global Ministries of the UCC and Disciples of Christ and the Diocese of San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas in southern Mexico. There she worked with her Catholic counterparts in ecumenical ministry, collaborating with the Diocesan Women’s Coordination (CODIMUJ), the Ecumenical Bible School (INESIN), and local non-profits dedicated to working with street children (Melel Xojo- bal), healing and transforming trauma (CAPAZ), as well as leading UCC delegations to Chiapas and preaching and leading workshops and retreats across the US.

Delle returned to the US in 2003 and toured the US sharing the “Gospel of Chiapas” and leading workshops on healing and transforming trauma. She served as Minister of Church Life and Leadership in a local UCC church in Barrington, RI before coming to Tucson. Delle is also a Reiki Master and CAPACITAR practitioner of Healing and Transforming Trauma. She is a trained Interim Minister, Spiritual Director and Pace e Bene Agent for Nonviolent Change.

Delle has traveled throughout the US and Mexico speaking, preaching and leading worships and workshops on Immigration, “Faith on the Line: Immigration, globalization and the Migrant Christ”, “Just Faith: Just Practice”, liberating interpretations of scripture, and healing and transforming trauma. She served as Executive Director of BorderLinks US and Mexico from 2005-2010. Delle also served as Minister for Border Education at Good Shepherd, UCC in Sahuarita from 2008-2010.

We look forward to an enriching and productive time of working together with Delle as our congregation embarks on this next phase of its journey.
