Hingham Congregational Church
Staff & Leaders

Rev. Dr. Peter Allen

Reverend Allen is passionate about preaching, youth and young adult ministry, and mission travel. He works closely with HCC’s Christian Education Ministry team and the lay leadership to continually explore and establish programs for congregants of all ages and build a balanced, spiritual community of youth and adults. With experience spanning from creating well-attended middle and senior high school youth programs at his church in Monroe, CT, to working with families that foraged for food in a local garbage dump in Mexico, Pete brings a deep understanding of the different facets of life and how faith and Christian values can positively impact everyone. Reverend Allen graduated from the University of Connecticut with a B.A. Sociology, Andover Newton Theological with Master of Divinity (MDiv), and Hartford Seminary with a Doctorate of Ministry (DMin). He loves to cook for his family, play guitar, run, climb mountains, kayak, and sleep under the stars. He also is a fan of literature, poetry, folk music, bebop jazz, and art.
