Alison Thatcher Office Administrator
office@uccplymouth.org
Alison Thatcher has been an active member of PCUCC since 2016. She is a member of the choir and Music Committee and co-leader of the Anti-Racism Taskforce. While much of her educational and vocational experience has been in early childhood education and baking, she has been the PCUCC office administrator since spring of 2022. Her next adventure is discerning a path towards ordained ministry, for which she has already been accepted by the Merrimack Association Committee on Church and Ministry. But don’t worry! She’ll be here in the office to answer your calls and emails in the meantime.
Outside of church employment and volunteer work, Alison loves growing, cooking, and eating food; learning new things about theology, social justice, and the natural world; and playing Dungeons & Dragons. She lives in Ashland with her husband and fellow D&D adventurer Matt, their awesome child Maris, their old feline friend China Cat Sunflower Shanti, and two snuggle bunnies Ostara and Raphael (Raffi).

Jennifer Byam is originally from Massachusetts where she attended a Congregational Church and served on the Diaconate and Library committees. She recently moved to Plymouth, New Hampshire and is excited to be the Director of Faith Formation since 2021.
Jennifer went to Gordon College where she majored in Early Childhood Education and graduated with a Master’s of Arts in Teaching. She has spent her career as a Montessori teacher in Lower Elementary and Early Childhood classrooms.
Jennifer enjoys teaching the children each week for Sunday School using the Spark Curriculum along with crafts and songs that accompany the theme of the lesson. She works with the Faith Formation Committee to plan church family events and community service projects.
The children have opportunities to participate in the Sunday services. They can be an acolyte, participate in the Children’s Message, share what they have been learning in Sunday School, sing a group song a few times a year and participate in Children’s Sunday.
In her spare time, Jennifer enjoys spending time with her family, walking and reading.
