Before serving as business manager, Melissa pastored United Methodist congregations in Haverhill, MA and Chebeague Island, ME for fifteen years. Her work included both serving traditional churches and forming one of the first mainline missional churches in the country, with a focus on community outreach and cross-organizational collaboration. She’s excited to support the work of FCC in this ministry of administration and to re-engage her right brain in church work (as she was a Math and Physics major in college). She currently lives on Chebeague Island with her husband, three kids, eight chickens, and one dog, and enjoys playing board games and table top role playing, knitting, and cooking for her family.
