Our New Pastor
On February 24, 2019, the congregation of Overbrook issued a call to the Rev. Dr. Adam Hearlson to be our designated pastor, for a term of three years, and he has accepted the call. Adam will start at Overbrook on March 26 and his first Sunday will be March 31. We hope you can be there to welcome him and to support him in his ministry with us.
Many thanks to our Pastoral Nominating Committee, for their long hours of discussion and discernment in bringing us to this place. We look forward to the future with hope and expectation.
