Meet Our Staff

Reverend Carrie Burnap

Pastor

Hi, I’m Rev. Carrie Burnap! With a heart for ministry and a passion for connection.  My journey began at Assumption College in Worcester, Massachusetts, and then on to Andover Newton Theology School, where I met my husband Dean. We’re blessed with three amazing kids – Sam (12) Clara (10) and Anna (5) – and call Auburn, NH home. In ministry, I’m most passionate about pastoral care and preaching. Personally, I’m renewed through physical activity like running and Pure Bar, There’s just something about physically exhausting your body that lets the Spirit speak in deep ways. With my family, I cherish beach days and cozy movie nights with popcorn on the couch these are moments that remind me of God’s love and joy.  That God is most often found in the ordinary!
