Connor

Connor joined the church in 2022 as the Associate Pastor for Youth Ministries. In this role, he leads high school and middle school programming, including confirmation classes, works collaboratively with Youth Board and leads the annual summer mission trip with Appalachia Service Project (ASP). Connor holds degrees in religion and philosophy and earned his Master’s in Divinity at Eden Theological Seminary in 2019. He says the camaraderie between staff and the infectious energy of the congregation make First Congregational an enjoyable place to work. Raised in Wallingford, Connecticut, Connor now resides in Akron with his partner, Kassi, and their assortment of pets. His hobbies include cooking, trying new food and traveling. His favorite quote is from Bilbo Baggins: “Don’t adventures ever have an end? I suppose not. Someone else always has to carry on the story.”
