Pastor Paul Doyle

Paul is a Norwich native, raised as an Irish Italian Catholic and served as an altar boy at St. Joseph’s Church.  He had always assumed he would serve God in the priesthood, but as life has its twist and turns a spiritual mentor provided a new  and very different perspective in Paul’s learning process.  Paul moved to Long Beach, CA and became an assistant in the founding of an ‘inter-denominational’ church that began in a living room, then moved to a converted garage and finally to its beautiful church home where it is today.  For Paul, the teacher never stops being the student.  Paul then became founding pastor of an affiliate church in Palm Springs, CA eventually moving to the Seattle area to be Senior Pastor there.

Paul received his license and ordination in California in 1985 as an Independent minister through a four-year program with the Long Beach church and then after moving back to Connecticut was granted privilege of call in the Connecticut Conference of the UCC by the CT Windham Association in 2012.  Paul has many years of experience in a diverse range of churches. He has also served as the Executive Director at Estuary Council of Seniors and the Covenant Soup Kitchen and Pantry in Willimantic.

Paul is an outgoing, high energy, self-motivated, Pastor with a compassionate heart.  He is passionate about Prayer, Worship and Music and will provide not only a high standard of service, but also, the utmost in integrity and respect.  His greatest joy, aside from sharing God’s word, is helping people to discover their gifts and talents and use them to the glory of God’s kingdom.
