Church Staff

Pastor Linda grew up in Fairfield Connecticut and is a graduate of Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, Virginia . She and her husband Brad spent their early years working with the Appalachia Service Project , a home-repair and home-building ministry in Lee County, VA.  After that they made their way back to Connecticut to serve a church and then to Maine where they’ve lived for 26 years.

 Linda has been an associate pastor, settled pastor and interim pastor during her over 30 years in ministry. Her husband Brad is the pastor of Second Christian Church in Kittery.

Linda and Brad have two grown sons, Nathan and Andrew, and a slightly neurotic black lab named Lola.

Linda is very excited to be the bridge pastor for Acton Congregational Church, UCC.
