Meet Our Staff

Pastoral Search
We have welcomed a new interim pastor as we continue our search for permanent pastor.
 We are happy to have Nancy Fraley as our interim pastor.

Pastor Nancy Fraley
Interim Pastor
I’m excited to join you as your interim pastor as you discern what the future holds for you in this time of on-going change.  My name is Rev. Nancy Fraley and I graduated from Chicago Theological Seminary.  I have spent 8 of the last 9 1/2 years as a chaplain in the nursing home of a suburban Continuing Care Community where I also maintained their medical records department.  I enjoy meeting people, so I welcome the chance to get to know all of you.  The last year and a half, I have enjoyed doing pulpit supply for churches in the Fox Valley and Prairie Associations and seeing how different churches are.
I have 2 adult, married children with 5 grandchildren between them, the youngest one is 16 (they grow so fast!)  My daughter, Adrienne and her family live in Elburn and my son, Eric lives in Corpus Christi, Texas.  My ex died in 2002.  I share my home with 2 rescue cats, Samson who is 20 years old and Sophie who is 17 years old.  Their personalities are complete opposite, Samson being the curious one and Sophie is shy. They make me laugh and love to snuggle, especially when it’s cold.
I love nature and am an amateur crafter.  I like to read and also listen to an eclectic mixture of music.  I am a curious person and like to discover new things.  It’s a pleasure to be here and I hope this will be an interesting and exciting journey for all of us. 
 
Blessings,
Pastor Nancy

Sarah Montgomery

Administrative Assistant
I am the secretary for St. Paul’s Hinckley UCC. I have a husband, 2 kids, 3 dogs, a rabbit and at times various other pets. In the past I have worked using my BS in Computer Science, doing web development and software development for the City of St. Charles and CIDnet software. When I had my oldest, I took a break from the workforce for a while and was then given the opportunity to work for the church.
Outside of work, I am a homeschooling mom and a small business owner. I love to explore nature with my family and spend time outdoors. I also love to find learning opportunities all around us. I dabble in a variety of arts including basketry, needle felting, woodworking, painting, and 3d printing. I sell some of these items through Little Chick Basketry and Crafts that I run with my sister. My hobbies also include fencing and gardening. 

Guitarist

Grayson Boatwright was born and raised in Charlotte, NC. Music has been a very important part of his life ever since he was a young kid and fell in love with the guitar. Boatwright’s earliest inspirations included guitarists such as Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Clapton. While his interests within music were constantly changing as a teenager, he eventually was struck in such a profound way by Jazz and Improvised Music. Upon the first time hearing the “fiery” bebop language of Jazz and the unapologetic “swing” of this music, his life was forever changed. Boatwright has performed in cities across the country such as Charlotte, Washington, New Orleans, Denver, Salt Lake City, and Chicago as well as the Montreux Jazz Festival, Jazz a Vienne, and Umbria Jazz Festivals in Europe. Grayson studies at Northern Illinois University while teaching at The Music Connection.
