Find Support
We all go through difficult times. We’d like to be here for you when you do.
Our three ministers are available to support our congregation and other members of our community when they encounter life’s inevitable challenges.
What we call Pastoral Care includes visits to homes, hospitals, hospice, and retirement facilities, as well as private meetings in our church offices to offer counsel, emotional support, and sometimes just a listening ear. Our ministers provide memorial services and grief counseling year round, as well as pre-marriage and baptism counseling.
The Ministers’ Discretionary Fund enables our pastors to provide direct financial support to neighbors in need.
To speak to a pastor, call the office at 860-434-8686, or reach out directly.
At heart, Steve is a seeker—intellectually drawn to the beauty of literature and language, the power of ritual and ceremony, and the joy found in festivity and play. He wrestles with the complexities of modern economic life, while spiritually gravitating toward those moments that stretch and challenge the boundaries of faith. It is in these borderlands—where traditions meet, and differences dissolve—that he believes we glimpse our shared humanity most clearly.
