Meet the Team
Reverend William Hamilton provides spiritual leadership and guidance, fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for all. Our talented organist, Patrick Menges, enriches our worship services with beautiful music that uplifts and inspires the congregation. Our Office Administrator, Candy Corthell, and our sexton, Shawn, ensure the church runs smoothly behind the scenes, maintaining the building with care and managing administrative tasks efficiently. Together, they support the mission and ministry of our church with commitment and grace, along with our Board and Committee members.
The Pilgrim Congregational Church team is dedicated to serving our community with faith and compassion.
