First Trinitarian Congregational Church of Scituate (FTCC), a United Church of Christ (UCC) parish, appointed Jen Christianson as settled pastor, beginning her ministry on October 1. Pastor Jen joins FTCC from her prior seven-year pastoral role at Winnetka Covenant Church in Wilmette, Illinois. First ordained in 2018, she brings broad experience in pastoral care, preaching, and faith formation, along with a passion for building relationships across generations.
Reflecting on her calling, Pastor Jen shares, “I’ve always loved being with and caring for people. Ministry has been a natural element of my life, and I look forward to walking alongside this wonderful congregation as we plant seeds of hope and flourish together.” Her ministry approach emphasizes collaboration, compassion, and curiosity, aiming to nurture both parishioners and the wider community in a spirit of openness and acceptance.
“Pastor Jen’s arrival marks an exciting new chapter for our church,” shares Tom Hall, a member of FTCC’s pastor search committee. “Her warmth, insight, and dedication to nurturing faith across generations will help us exponentially grow as a welcoming and thriving community.”
