Our Staff

Rev. Craig Carlson - Pastor Hello! I was raised in Seattle, Washington by two wonderful parents who helped me learn about and finally receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord of my life. The Lord called me into ministry during my college years and I began my work as a Youth Pastor in the summer of 1968. I have served churches in Illinois, Minnesota, California and Connecticut. It has been a privilege to be the pastor of the Covenant Church of Easton since October 1993. I moved here from California with my wife, Carolyn. We have two grown sons who also live in New England.
Cary Slater - Youth Pastor Cary Slater has worked with Middle School and High School kids across the country since he was old enough to drive a 15 passenger van. He has served churches in Seattle, Phoenix, and here at Covenant Church of Easton. He studied at Wheaton College and Alliance Theological Seminary. Cary is married to Roseann. They have 2 great kids that they love to play with, Abigail and Noah. And now that Cary has kicked his ESPN addiction, his kids actually know his name.
Dan Wolgemuth - Director of Worship Arts Stay tuned for Dan's bio.
Brenda Hurd - Director Children's Ministries For the past 23 or so years I have spent most of my time involved with children one way or another. My husband, Bob, and I have two grown children, Dave, 21 and Katy, 19. During their growing-up years I taught and/or directed various children’s programs at church and in the community. I have a degree in recreation and have continued to explore and be fascinated at how people spend their time. My desire is to get them to spend more of it learning about and serving our God. I believe the best place for them to start is in the nursery. I enjoy travel, tag sales, reading, word puzzles, crafts, Bible study, going to the gym, and watching television. I’m almost never bored.
Andrea Stetson - Director, Covenant Children's Center My professional work with children began in 1990 when I accepted a position in the Fairfield Public Library as Children's Reference Librarian. It was there that I discovered the adventure of learning alongside young children. During my library tenure, I held several preschool teaching positions, which helped prepare me for this present journey as Director. I delight in walking with the children through their early learning years as they make sense of the world around them, affirming them, encouraging them and sharing with them the love of Jesus.
