Staff
Rev. Elane O’Rourke, Pastor
Welcome
to the Campbell United Church of Christ (Congregational), where God is still speaking!
What newcomers usually notice first is the welcome they receive.
We're glad to see each other and to welcome people into our home.
We won't overwhelm you with questions and directions, but those
warm smiles and open faces reflect our joy that you've come.
We strive to be an oasis: to provide refuge from the craziness of
life in the 21st century, and refreshment and resource for our faith
journeys. We are all at different places on the path of faith, but
our goal is to walk together, sharing our experiences and understandings,
and worshipping and serving God and God's people in the larger community.
As pastor, my task is to keep pointing toward God, to help mentor
and guide you on your journey, and to give you tools and resources
to help you draw closer to God and to others.
I'm supposed to include information about my education and work
experience here, but here's the only part that matters: I know from
personal experience that God in Christ loves even you, and there's
nothing you can do to change that.
I hope you find an oasis for your journey here at Campbell UCC!

John Rogers joined the staff as Facilities Manager in June, 2006. John has a unique gift in overseeing the maintenance, repairs, and up keep of the buildings and grounds. He works with the different church and other groups that use the facilities. While doing this he has built a relationship that influences unity, encourages the members, stir people souls, and bring people to know God and Jesus, through word and example. John maintains the church’s coordinated calendar (a complex task with 23+ ministries using the church) and is the team leader for the church’s sound and visual technology.
John is truly one of God’s Ambassadors – called by God to be an evangelist. He has a passion to help others discard any feelings of guilt that they may have and make it easier for them to tell their neighbors, co-workers, friends, and family about their relationship in God and Jesus. We are truely blessed to have John use his gifts at Campbell UCC.
