rev. dr. thomas m. richard
Rev. Dr. Thomas Richard has been part of Nantucket since he was three years old, when his father served the First Congregational Church of Nantucket in the 1950's. Tom returned to the Island in 1986 to serve FCC until 2001.
Since his ordination in 1973 he has served seven churches in five states, and from 2001-2013 he served as the Executive Director of the National Association of Congregational Christian Churches.
During his fifteen years of ministry here on the Island, he was deeply involved in several non-profit groups and active in ecumenical and interfaith ministries.
He and his wife LeeAnne have six children, and five grandchildren. In early April 2020 Tom was appointed as pastor of the Nantucket United Methodist Church. He returns to ministry in a tradition in which his grandfather was a lay minister, and his father first began his ministry.
After traveling throughout the country since 2001, he and LeeAnne are happy to call Nantucket home again once again.
Historic Nantucket United Methodist Church
One of Nantucket's oldest churches featuring the historic Appleton Organ. The church was built in 1823 during the Golden Age of Whaling. The Nantucket United Methodist Church was added to the Massachusetts Register of Historic Places in 1998 and is part of Nantucket Island's National Register Historic District.
Two Centre Street Restoration Project
Two Centre Street Restoration Project, Inc., is a nonprofit organization governed by a board of directors dedicated to the restoration and preservation of the Nantucket United Methodist Church. This majestic Greek revival structure sits grandly at the top of Main and Centre Street in downtown Nantucket, Massachusetts.
The organization formed in 1995 as a coalition of church members and volunteers with expertise in historic preservation, construction, finance and development in order to save and restore this historically significant structure that nearly deteriorated beyond repair.
The work that has been accomplished over the past 25 years has been under the guidance of experienced restoration and preservation architects along with skilled members of the building trade all with the same goal of keeping its’ structural integrity intact.
