Currently, we are searching for a half time Pastor. While we are searching, we are being blessed with the ministry of Rev. Ed Koonz, Interim Minister. We hope you will come visit or join us and experience the gifts that each one brings to our community.

Our Interim Pastor and Teacher, Rev. Ed Koonz, resides in Nashua. Ed has been an ordained United Church of Christ minister since 1985 and has served seven churches, three as a settled pastor and four as an interim pastor. Having served pastorates ranging from 5 to 21 years, he’s finishing his vocational life as an interim pastor because he believes transitional times are especially important moments in a church’s history today due to the changed relationship between church and society.

Ed believes Christ’s churches are now being called to adapt their ministries and become both virtual and “incarnational” – in the flesh – congregations. In this new age of social media platforms and mobile devices, he hopes congregations can become vital communities of fellowship that address human alienation, loneliness, divisiveness, and injustices that are so rampant in our society and around the world today.

Ed has a passion for pastoring through teaching, preaching, and pastoral conversation with individuals and groups. His hope is that people will experience salvation by discovering more meaningful and satisfying living through which they have and share God’s healing love.

For Ed, practicing Christianity is more about adopting the religion of Jesus than expressing the religion about Jesus. Personal beliefs are important, but only to the degree that they motivate Christians to join with others and become what the world desperately needs: people who make a difference by practicing the inclusive, loving Spirit and ways of Jesus.
