Rev. Jonah bissell, Co-Pastor
Pastor Jonah was born and raised in Rutland, Vermont where he met his now-wife Danielle. They both attended Moody Bible Institute in Chicago where they completed degrees in Biblical Studies.
Jonah then went on to complete a Master of Theological Studies degree at Duke Divinity School in North Carolina, where his first child was born. Jonah and Danielle have since been blessed with boy-girl twins, and seek to forge connections between families (of all kinds) in midcoast Maine.
Jonah is also a Ph.D. student at Boston University where he studies early Christianity and its connection to local ecology in late antique Egypt. Because of this Jonah has shifted to part-time here at FBCF, focusing primarily on preaching and teaching.
Jonah is ordained in the American Baptist Churches U.S.A. and is passionate about critical thinking, relational connection, and the development of just and sustainable cultures. Among other things, Jonah loves reading, small-scale farming, skiing, and skateboarding, and would love to hear more about you and your story!
