Dear First Church community,

I am so excited to be joining the team here at the First Congregational Church of Burlington and to be working with all the lovely children in this community!

I have been attending the First Church since the fall of 2022 and I am looking forward to becoming more involved and helping our children learn and grow in faith. I am currently a junior at the University of Vermont and I am studying Elementary Education in the hopes of becoming a teacher after graduation! I was born and raised in Sacramento, California and grew up Catholic. I absolutely love the inclusivity and joy that First Church offers and I can’t wait to be here every Sunday to contribute to that love.

With gratitude,

Grace Alexander Raines, Elementary Ministries Coordinator
