Rev. Deb Parker-Hill
Rev. Deb Parker-Hill became an ordained minister in 2007 and has full standing in the United Church of Christ. She’s a native Pennsylvanian who has served UCC congregations in the Ursinus and the Covenant Associations of the Pennsylvania Southeast Conference. Over the last 10 years her focus and growing edge have been on moving beyond ministry inside the church to reaching outside into the world. She’s interested in diving more deeply into the root causes of why community aid ministries are needed in the first place—the injustice that remains unseen and unknown when no relationships are established with the people affected —Pastor Deb longs to lead a congregation drawn not only to community mission work, but to exploring the questions of justice, learning and growing together as the Spirit leads us. She is drawn to St. Paul’s desire to step outside the walls of our church building to create an extended community with the people of Birdsboro in which we can together, invent and act in new ways to address the isolation and marginalization in the community. She strives to encourage and ask questions of faith and to empower others to live out their faith in the world while following Jesus together. Pastor Deb and her husband, Joe, are the parents of seven adult children and are excited to be grandparents for the first time! Exploring the wonders of creation through gardening, hiking, kayaking, and travel are what most feeds her soul. She looks forward to getting to know you. St. Paul’s UCC, Birdsboro, has a relaxed manner and welcomes you to stop by or call to say “hi” and to meet Pastor Deb! In addition to Sunday service, check our website, stpaulsbirdsboro.org, to see when she is in the church office. |
