Greetings Fellow Traveler!

I am so glad you have found our website-- it means (I hope) you are thinking about coming to our church!  As Senior Minister of St. John's UCC, I'd like to extend to you a warm invitation and welcome to worship with us.  In other places on this site, you can learn more about our church history, our worship and our upcoming events, but in this space, I'd like to tell you a little bit more about myself...

I came to St. John's UCC in October of 2009, on World Communion Sunday, so I am still at the beginning of my journey of ministry with St. John's.  I'm a graduate of Union Theological Seminary in NYC, and served my first church in the NY Metro area, then another large church in Florida.  My husband Allen Glover is from Brooklyn, and he and I have two young sons, Aaron and Mark.  That means in addition to being a pastor, I'm also a busy mom and wife-- so I really do understand how busy and hectic life can get sometimes.

My preaching and the worship I lead tend to reflect my strong conviction that faith is a journey, a process-- which means we work on our faith and get better at it over time!  You'll also hear me say again and again that each of us is a beloved child of God, and that God loves us just the way we are!  As a pastor, I try to encourage everyone in the church to practice hospitality-- to welcome others the way Jesus Christ showed us during his ministry.

You can find one of my sermons by clicking the link below:  this one was delivered on Easter 2010.

 I'll see you on the journey,

Pastor Jenn
