First Parish is served by the elected leaders, volunteers, and staff. First Parish is also fortunate to be served by three full time ordained ministers, each with their own portfolio and passions in ministry. Each of the ministers preach and participate in worship services and are available for pastoral care, weddings, and memorial services.
