At this time, we do not have a settled minister; we joyfully work together to offer worshipful Sunday mornings, engaging programming for kids and adults, and compassionate care. 

​

Each Sunday, you'll see a member or friend of Old South in the pulpit; we are a congregation of many thoughtful, insightful people! We also have talented guest speakers from the Maine Conference, United Church of Christ, in the mix.

​

If you need to speak with a minister, please call our church office at 207-778-0424.

Our organist, Mindi Worthley, joined the Old South staff in 2023. Music has been an integral part of Mindi's life since an early age, when she began to play the piano. When she was 16 years old, she studied organ under Dorothy Olgivy at this same organ.

We warmly welcome Morgen Hall as our new Director of Children and Youth Ministries. 

Emma Stinson is our Nursery Care provider during the school year (September - May). 

Alex serves as our Summer Nursery Care Provider. She says, "I was 10 when I first heard about God and have since been attending various church services. After receiving a psychology degree from UMF in 2023, I've been working with 3-5 year olds at the Children's Center in Augusta. My team and I strive to promote emotional regulation, communication, social skills, independence, and more in the children we work with. I feel fortunate to be able to join Old South Church this summer to continue to watch children learn and grow."
