Rev. Jeanette Cooper Hicks grew up in a Roman Catholic family, where faith and spirituality played a central role in her life. Her first call was to teaching elementary and then college students. God had plans, which lead her to seminary and ordained ministry. A life-long learner and avid reader, she holds degrees and certifications from Vassar College, Western Connecticut State, Union Theological Seminary, Louisville Theological Seminary and Boston University Theological Seminary. As a former Navy military family, she moved around quite a bit serving at Saint Matthews UMC, KY, Trinity UMC, NC, East Parish Church, MA, and The United Churches of Durham, CT. In addition to congregational ministry, Pastor Jeanette is a certified Spiritual Director and Hospice volunteer. She and her husband, Al, have four children, bonus children, and a wonder-dog, Jack. They live in the shoreline of Connecticut.
