Blue Hill Congregational Church welcomes new pastor
BLUE HILL
The First Congregational Church of Blue Hill has a new pastor, the Rev. Lisa Durkee, who most recently worked as a chaplain in New Jersey.
Durkee has taught at schools in New Jersey, New York and India. She was a theology student, pastor and musician in Massachusetts, and she adopted her daughters in China. After many moves, she found herself as the new minister of the First Congregational Church on Jan. 1.
“All my life I wanted to live year-round in Maine,” she said. “The calling to this ministry brings together everything I’ve done and hope to do.”
