The Interim Minister Search Committee is delighted to announce the appointment of Rev. David Buchan as the new Interim Pastor of Center Congregational Church. His assignment began on August 24. David and his wife Patty currently reside in Brookfield, Connecticut. David comes with many years of pastoral knowledge and experience. The bulk of his career has been serving as Minister in many churches including Connecticut, Ohio, Maine, and even Zimbabwe, Africa. At a time when most people find themselves kicking back and relaxing, David has found his new calling. He chose to continue his ministry as an interim pastor, and has already succesfully served as an interim in three dynamic churches in Connecticut. David's personal qualities demonstrate why he is such a successful minister. His kind demeanor sense of humor, and seep understanding of juman nature show him to be a care-giver. IN addition his willingness to take on challenges and help churches find their identity qualify him also as a change agent. David is excited to take on the leadership of Center Church and to celebrate the many traditions and joys in our vibrant church life. We look forward to worshiping with Reverend Bechan, and welcome him joyfully into our church family.
