The common theme for all of the ministry settings for Nicole has been church renewal, and reimagining the next step for the organization as the church grows and changes. All of the churches Nicole has served have experienced significant numerical and spiritual growth. Nicole is the first woman senior minister at First Church in Windsor, founded in 1630. She thrives on getting involved in the wider community, like hosting a community-wide discussion series called “Love your Muslim Neighbor,” serving on the Windsor Hunger Action Task Force, and guest speaking at Windsor Human Relations Commission social justice events. She is the recipient of the Windsor Bridge Builders Award and the Windsor Phenomenal Woman Award.
Nicole and Todd are the proud parents of 2 young adult daughters; Fiona is a software engineer and Olivia is a student at Occidental College. Nicole is a very active person, enjoying various fitness activities like hiking, and gardening. This past summer, she hiked the 250-mile section of the Maine Appalachian Trail for part of her sabbatical. Her hiking buddy is a black lab named Mayleen. Nicole lives in Windsor, CT.
Erin grew up outside Boston, has a Bachelor of Music degree from Gordon College with a specialty in voice. She is also a violinist. In her interviews with us, she stressed the importance of conversations with families about their children and their lives and needs. She has significant experience in working with and supporting volunteers. Her creativity stands out among her attributes and she loves collaboration.
Jane grew up in rural Wisconsin, and she received her bachelors degree in piano and music history from the University of Wisconsin. She also has graduate degrees in music history from the University of California and Oxford University. Although her primary training is in classical music, she loves music of all eras and backgrounds, and one of her favorite things is finding a great new piece to share!
Jane has been a church musician for 20 years now, having served in Congregational, Episcopal, and Catholic parishes before coming to First Church in autumn of 2015. She is so glad to be here! Jane plays the organ and the piano for services, and she directs and accompanies the choir. She also directs the bell choir, which is a new and fun skill!
Jane met her husband, Alain Frogley, when they were in graduate school together. After 11 years in England, Alain was hired by the University of Connecticut School of Music in 1994, and the Frogleys have lived in Storrs ever since. Alain is a tenured professor at the music department, and he is also Associate Dean of the School of Fine Arts. Their son, Nicholas, works for an internet company based in Storrs, and is studying for a computer science degree.
