EDGECOMB COMMUNITY CHURCH
Church Leadership
Welcome to OUR ChurcH
Our Pastor
Aram Mitchell
Aram Mitchell serves as the part-time pastor of Edgecomb Community Church, leading worship twice each month, nurturing the spiritual formation of our members, and offering pastoral care and presence to folks in our community.
Aram received his Master of Arts degree in Religious Studies from Chicago Theological Seminary in 2013. After seminary Aram served as the Congregational Minister for Children (and the childlike!) at Claremont United Church of Christ, in southern California. In 2015 Aram moved to Portland, Maine where he worked for five years as the Executive Director of Renewal in the Wilderness, a nonprofit organization that connected people with nature to help prevent professional burnout and sustain good work for the long-haul. Aram has also supported spiritual leaders as a teacher and program facilitator with the Chaplaincy Institute of Maine, The BTS Center, and the Center for Wild Spirituality.
When they are not in Edgecomb, Aram and his wife Emma, who is also a minister, live in the Boston area, with their goldendoodle Ollie, in a home that is shaded by a great big oak tree. Along with pastoring, Aram is a Registered Maine Guide, he leads wilderness retreats, and he has a private practice as a professional life coach.
