Meet Our Church Leaders
Meet some of the people who help guide, serve, and care for our church family.
Together, our Pastor, church leaders, and volunteers share their time and talents to support the life and ministry of Houghs Neck Congregational Church.
Reverend Lori Bruni, Settled Pastor
Pastor Lori earned her Master of Divinity from Chicago Theological Seminary in 2024 and is ordained in the United Church of Christ.
Lori and her husband, Anthony, live in Weymouth and enjoy spending time with their adult children and young grandson, Felix.
Lori feels blessed to be part of the warm and welcoming Houghs Neck Congregational Church family and to share in its life, ministry, and fellowship.
Ralph Jacobs, Chair of the Diaconate
Ralph is an active and valued member of our church family. He holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Northeastern University and is a retired Technical Services Manager for the Massachusetts Port Authority.
Ralph and his wife, Nancy, a retired schoolteacher, live right here in Houghs Neck.
Affectionately known as “The Lobsterman and the Pie Lady,” they enjoy spending time with family and friends — and, of course, being part of the HNCC family!
Ian MacLean - Music Ministry Support Specialist
Ian holds musical and technical expertise from a very young age, and has pursued many opportunities at school, and other area churches and ministries, which have developed into skills that benefit our church immensely. He plays the organ and piano, from hymns to modern praise and worship releases, collaborates with our Minister of Music with special pieces, sings solo and sings in our choir, installed and runs our new sound system, and assists our technology team with our Zoom worship platform.
Ian is a lifelong resident of South Weymouth, and lives with his beloved dog, an American Staffordshire Terrier/Whippet Mix named Enzo.
