REV. SARAH WEAVER
SENIOR PASTOR

The Rev. Sarah Weaver was called to the Rehoboth Congregational Church in April of 2011.

Born and raised in New Milford, Connecticut, Rev. Sarah attended Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pennsylvania and graduated in 2007 with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy & Religion. While at Ursinus, Rev. Sarah served as the president of the college chapel, was on staff at Leadership Now: Spiritual Formation with Youth through Lancaster Theological Seminary and was selected to be an undergraduate fellow through the Fund for Theological Education’s Undergraduate Fellowship Program. She graduated cum laude and was the 2007 recipient of the The Paisley Prize, funded by the Carrie Strassburger Paisley Fund for an essay in Christian ethics.

In 2007, Rev. Sarah moved to Atlanta, Georgia so she could begin her seminary studies at the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. With a concentration in Leadership in Church & Community, Rev. Sarah was able to take both a classroom and hands-on approach to learning. In addition to her studies, she interned at the Elizabeth Inn Emergency Shelter at MUST Ministries and Pilgrimage United Church of Christ in Marietta, Georgia.

In May of 2010, Rev. Sarah graduated from Candler and immediately began an intensive unit of Clinical Pastoral Education, serving as a chaplain at Grady Memorial Hospital, Atlanta’s only Level 1 Trauma Center.  She passed her Ecclesiastical Council in December 2010 and was called to the Rehoboth Congregational Church in March 2011.  Rev. Sarah began her ministry on April 1, 2011 and was ordained on April 10, 2011.

Rev. Sarah has found ways to widen the reach of RCC by getting involved in the greater Rehoboth community.  In addition to working with several local funeral homes, she has also served as a volunteer chaplain at Sturdy Memorial Hospital and was a member of the Board of Directors of the former Attleboro Area Council of Churches (now the Attleboro Area Interfaith Collaborative).  She recently received a citation from the Massachusetts House of Representatives honoring her ten years of service at RCC.

In addition to her work at the church and in the community, Rev. Sarah also serves as a facilitator of a Clergy Community of Practice, a program overseen by the Southern New England Conference of the United Church of Christ.

​Rev. Sarah and her husband, Bruce, live in Rehoboth with their two children, Harrison and Adelaide.
