Pastor Noah shares responsibility for the church’s teaching and worship and develops opportunities for people to thoughtfully explore and grow in the Christian faith. He and Ali Kennedy are raising their four children within the UCM community, where hospitality is a natural expression of their ministry—from welcoming individuals and families settling into a new country to cultivating a sense of home and belonging in the life of the church.
Born and raised in the southeastern United States, Noah graduated from the University of Alabama before beginning his career in client-service support at a small financial consulting firm. He later joined a national wholesale coffee distributor in South Carolina, advancing from territory management to branch operations. It was during these years that he came to know and love God personally through Christ.
Responding to a calling to ministry, he completed his graduate education at Princeton Theological Seminary. Newly married, he and Ali then spent a year training at the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics—a formative season in an international setting that further shaped their collaborative approach to ministry. Upon receiving his first pastoral call, Noah was ordained and began his service at UCM in 2015.
