Pastor Paul Doyle (UCC Congregational)
(860) 423-6827
Paul has many years of experience in a diverse range of churches and at the Covenant Soup Kitchen in Willimantic. Paul’s ministry has also been instrumental in reconciling members of the LGBTQ community to God and their service in faith, helping churches accept their call as Open & Affirming and has extensive experience working with people who are affected and infected with HIV/AIDS, experiencing homelessness and challenged by food insecurity. His greatest joy aside from sharing God’s word is helping all people to discover their gifts and talents and to help them to use them to the glory of God’s Kingdom. Willimantic/Windham is a community Paul very much admires and has been blessed to be a part of.
