First Congregational Church of Scarborough recently welcomed Reverend Linda C. Hey as interim pastor. Hey is an ordained minister with standing in the New Hampshire Conference of the United Church of Christ. She holds a Master of Divinity from Andover Newton Theological School and has served churches in the New Hampshire and Massachusetts Conferences of the United Church of Christ.

Rev. Hey is deeply committed to the ideals of her denomination, which embrace individual responsibility for one’s faith life; an inclusive love and welcome for all; and a willingness to speak up for social justice. She brings a wealth of experience as a trained interim ministry specialist.

Rev. Hey is working closely with the members and all the ministries and committees of the church during this pastoral transition to help bring greater clarity regarding the church’s purpose, mission, and vision for the future God has in store. Members already feel she is a wonderful addition to the church and the local Scarborough community.
