About
As an ordained pastor for nearly 10 years, Pastor Heather found her truest passion in walking alongside people during the most special important, vital, pivotal moments in their lives: weddings and saying goodbye to a loved one.
These are sacred times and also deeply personal.
A former journalist and storyteller, Heather is an experienced ordained pastor who finds genuine joy in making life’s big milestones—whether joyful or difficult—feel personal, distinctive, and truly unforgettable for those being honored.
She welcomes the opportunity to work with people wherever they are in their faith - whether agnostic
Born and raised in Massachusetts, she attended Saint Anselm College, where she studied sociology; in truth, journalism was her enduring passion. You’ll quickly notice she asks a lot of questions and approaches people with an open, curious spirit. Along the way she felt a growing pull to explore her faith more deeply.
As time went on, that pull to pastoral ministry intensified and she was ordained in 2018 . She went on to earn a Master’s Degree in Organizational Leadership from Concordia University and now serves as Executive Pastor at New England Chapel in Franklin, MA.
None of this was part of her original plan, but she trusts that God’s imagination surpasses her own. Constantly working to bridge the gap between a loving, accessible God and people who need to experience that love in practical ways, Heather’s hope is to share God’s love with all who will receive it—in ways that feel real and tangible. Her greatest focus is her husband and children, and she also cherishes spending substantial time with her extended family.
“Pastor Heather went above and beyond anything we expected. She’s patient, an amazing teacher, and she was always there for us whenever we needed her. ”
“Any fears or trepidation that my then fiance had before our first meeting were immediately assuaged due to Heather’s inviting and warm demeanor. She has an aptitude for making people feel comfortable. Her humility, sense of humor and genuine desire to help others grow in their relationship together and with God made it so we truly looked forward to our meetings together. ”
“Working with Heather through prepare and enrich has helped us tremendously on our journey to marriage. Heather helped us become closer as a couple and ultimately made us stronger together. ”
