Revs. Kit and Nate began as Co-Ministers of First Parish in Lincoln in August 2022. They are drawn to FPL’s vision of a warm and inclusive spiritual community, its passion for environmental and racial justice, and its interest in intellectual and artistic engagement. They look forward to working within a creative ministry model to lead this historic congregation in its next chapter.
Nate and Kit are graduates of Yale Divinity School and were both ordained in the United Church of Christ in 2013. They served separate churches in Iowa and the Bay Area of California before returning home to Massachusetts, where they both grew up.
Kit and Nate share a passion for transformative preaching, and for helping children, youth, and adults discover joy and surprise in their spiritual journeys — however they seek and name the sacred.
Nate is a poet and essayist and the author, most recently, of Hosts and Guests (Princeton University Press). He teaches at the Graduate Theological Union and Dominican University’s MFA program. Kit has a background in professional theater and improvisation and is a certified yoga instructor with training in Trauma Sensitive Yoga. She is a member of the Next Generation Leadership Initiative (NGLI), a program for younger UCC clergy identified as promising leaders in co-creating “the Church of the Future.”
Nate and Kit live in nearby Concord with their two young daughters, Gwendolyn and Zoe. When they’re not at church or chasing their children, they love a strong cup of coffee and the beauty of the New England seasons.
