Rev. Kimberly P. Chastain pastor@upcbgm.org
Pastor/Head of Ministry
Pastor Kimberly is the first installed pastor of UPC and has served our congregation since 2013. As the congregation grows and develops, she loves to use her experience as preacher, teacher, and community organizer to make connections and work with others to follow where Jesus leads. Through study, worship, and prayer, bringing exciting opportunities into the church building, and equipping others to seek opportunities beyond our walls, she hopes to work with others to bring Christ’s vision of justice, welcome, and peace to the community of downtown Binghamton. Kimberly lives in Johnson City with her nieces, Sara and Madelyn, and their dogs, Luke and Kosmo.
