Reverend Jennifer Whipple, Senior Pastor

The Reverend Jennifer (DeBisschop) Whipple was ordained in the Naugatuck Valley Association in December 2005.  Jennifer resides in Naugatuck with her husband and two children. She has been a part of the CCB family since August 2005.

As Associate Pastor, Jennifer assists with Sunday morning worship services, including sacraments and preaching.  She oversees the youth programs -- Church School, Confirmation Class, and Junior & Senior Youth Fellowship -- and assists with Adult Education as well.  She also works with the Church In Society Committee to vision and plan hands-on mission projects for the CCB family.  Her passions in ministry revolve around watching youth grow in faith and helping people make connections between their faith and service.  As a part of the CCB community Jennifer continues to be excited about her work with the youth and the great ministry being done by and with this congregation!

Jennifer graduated with a B.A. in Sociology from La Salle University in Philadelphia and an M.Div. from Yale University Divinity School. Before coming to CCB, Jennifer worked for the Waterbury YMCA with its Aftercare and summer camp programs, teaching youth to be counselors and helping to lead challenge courses and teambuilding workshops. She also spent 6 months living in the Dominican Republic where she worked with the Good Samaritan Mission in La Romana.
