Our Minister

The members of First Church are pleased to have the Rev. David M. Hammett as our twenty-second settled Pastor.  Ordained in October of 1984, Reverend Hammett spent the first 12 years of his ministry serving churches in Pennsylvania.  Before coming to First Church, he served the Congregational Church in Pawcatuck for six years.

Reverend Hammett focuses on a “total church ministry,” inviting all people to become involved in the life of the church – not just a select few.

Reverend Hammett is actively involved in civic and ecumenical activities.  His hobbies include graphic arts and sculpture, wooden boat building, and an interest in outreach to Haiti.

He can usually be reached at First Church’s main number: (860) 443-8409.
