Allison Smith, Senior Minister
Phone: (207) 829-3419 Ext. 4
Allison is happy to serve as the Senior Minister at the Congregational Church in Cumberland, United Church of Christ! She is a graduate of Union Theological Seminary in NYC and is originally from North Carolina where she graduated from NCSU. She has served churches in Bethesda, MD and Wilton, ME and most recently as interim pastor in Newcastle, Phippsburg, and Kennebunk. She loves working with congregations who are listening for the Spirit and seeking to live out Jesus’ “extravagant welcome.” She believes worship should be welcoming, engaging, challenging, joyful, and full of hope! Passionate about social justice and change, and our power to make a difference in the world, Allison convened and serves on the Anti-Racism Resource Team for the ME Conference UCC.
She is married to Gregory Greenleaf, a teacher at Greely HS, and they are blessed to have three daughters whose ages range from middle school to college. They live in Harpswell with their black lab, Echo, and cat, Firefly. Allison enjoys hiking, gardening, photography, and being near the ocean.
Feel free to reach out--she’d love to meet for a cup of coffee!
