After 11 years at TCC my tenure as pastor has come to an end.  My final Sunday in the pulpit was June 1, 2025.  From June-September a “Bridge Ministry” will be in place wherein guest preachers, primarily Rev. Caroly Gibson and Dr. Jon Coffin, will preach and lead worship while church leadership works on finding an “Interim Minister.”  If you need to connect with the church please contact Lisa in the church office at office@trumbullcc.org.  God bless you!

Lisa came to TCC in 2016 with over 20 years’ experience in the mortgage industry as an underwriter.  Later in her career she chose a new path that helped her be closer to home to help raise her 2 children, Jake & Abby with her husband Chris.  They have been living in Trumbull for almost 25 years, and what started out as an interim job change – turned into a 9 year career! Message Lisa if you need assistance with anything – she is happy to help!!

Ilana comes to Trumbull CC with a diverse musical background that began in New Fairfield, CT when at age 17 she took her first job as an accompanist at a local church. She immediately fell in love with the job and has worked professionally as an organist, choir conductor, music director, and freelance musician ever since. She graduated summa cum laude from Western Connecticut State University with a degree in Jazz Studies and was one of two students in her graduating class to receive the Henry Barnard Distinguished Student Award for academic success and community service. While attending WCSU, Ilana studied jazz piano, classical piano, organ, and voice, and also received her Colleague’s Certification from the American Guild of Organists. During and after college, Ilana toured professionally with the Celtic Fusion band MacTalla Mor, serving as keyboardist, Gaelic singer, and composer. Five years ago, she received her Juris Doctor from Fordham University School of Law. Since graduating law school, she has pursued a legal career in public interest law, her interests being in criminal defense, civil rights, prisoner’s rights, and immigration, while also maintaining a busy schedule as a church musician. Ilana has great faith in the power of music to deepen the experience of communal worship and inspire people towards social action. She currently lives with her husband in Bridgeport, CT and is very excited to serve as music director at Trumbull CC.
