Welcome Janet Brown, our new pastor!

Dear Friends,

At a special congregational meeting on April 16th, after more than two years of being led by members of the congregation, Feeding Hills Congregational Church voted to welcome me, Janet Brown as their new Minister and Pastor, a call which I accepted with great joy!

I have been a Member in Discernment in the Hampden Association of the United Church of Christ for nearly eight years.  I graduated from Wesley Seminary at Indiana Wesleyan University with a Master’s Degree in the Art of Ministry and have been working as the Director of Family & Children’s Ministry at Agawam Congregational Church for twelve years.  In this role, I have developed many programs and events that served both the congregation and the community.  Prior to this, I worked in local non-profits supporting families and in public and private education. 

I live in Southwick on our family farm, with my husband Randy and our two children, Jaxson and Madelyn.  I joined the FHCC family leading my first service on May 21st, and the formal installation and ordination will occur on October 1st, 2023. I am very excited for this new chapter in my journey. FHCC and congregation demonstrate  deep commitment to God and their community, and I am excited to see how we can live that out together. This is a time that we all need hope and faith and I hope that you will join us in worship and fellowship soon!

Worship at Feeding Hills Congregational Church is held Sundays at 10 am, followed by a time of fellowship. All are welcome!
