New Pastor at Hope United

Hope United Church of Christ in Sturgeon Bay has hired its first female pastor in the church’s 140-year history. 

The Rev. Carol Reynolds joined Hope in late September as its full-time pastor after serving, most recently, a United Church of Christ congregation in Scottsdale, Arizona. Church members selected her after a comprehensive, 15-month, nationwide search. 

Rev. Reynolds earned her master of divinity degree in 2008 from the Iliff School of Theology in Denver after a book-publishing career, nudged toward the ministry in the aftermath of 9/11. She joins Hope United Church of Christ in identifying with the Tenets of Progressive Christianity.
