Connect with Mother Megan

I’d love to connect.

I especially value time together in person. Whether you’re new to St. James, have a question, or would simply like to get to know one another, I would be grateful for the chance to connect.

  • Find a time to meet
  • Plan a lunch together
  • Join us for dinner at the rectory

If you’ve never joined us for dinner at the rectory—or if it’s been a while—I hope you will. We would truly love to have you. I live in the rectory just behind the church, and it’s a joy to welcome people there.

Walk-in Hours:
Tuesdays, 9–11am

About Mother Megan

I have served as the seventh rector of St. James the Less since 2023. Before ordination in the Diocese of New York in 2021, I spent nearly fifteen years as a teacher—a background that continues to shape how I listen, guide, and learn alongside others.

My studies took me to Indiana University Bloomington, Union Theological Seminary, Bexley Seabury, and the University of Pennsylvania.
At the heart of my ministry is a deep love for connecting with people and walking with them on their spiritual journeys—wherever they are and whatever they are going through. I hope to help others discover how God is at work in their lives and how they are called to live with purpose.

I believe we grow most fully in community—where our gifts are seen, nurtured, and shared.

I live in Northfield with my husband, daughter, and stepdaughter, just behind the church at the rectory.
