New Covenant United Methodist Church was organized in July of 2006 after two East Hartford
United Methodist congregations, Burnside UMC and Hockanum UMC, prayerfully decided to form a new church. We are part of the New England Conference of the United Methodist Church and in the Seacoast District.

New Covenant is located on the corner of Burnside Avenue and Church Street. We are in a diverse neighborhood that includes the Qadariya Community Center, the worship and education home for many Muslim neighbors. Together, New Covenant and the Qadariya Community offer a unique opportunity for ecumenical and interfaith ministries. New Covenant is also located in the midst of a number of small business, public institutions, multi-family housing units and single family homes. We are truly blessed by our location and look forward to contributing along with our neighbors to the well-being of the community.
Our Mission
The mission of New Covenant United Methodist Church is to “create and nurture disciples of Jesus Christ through work in our local church, local community, and global community.” We are a worshiping community committed to serving and reaching out to our neighbors near and far. We would be blessed to have you join us in this mission! Please journey through our website and contact us with any questions.
Meet Pastor Jennifer Lund
It is my honor to serve as the Pastor of New Covenant UMC. This congregation has a passion for worship and praise, and a heart for feeding the hungry and inviting in the stranger (Matthew 25:35). I too am passionate about ministry in community. I believe we were created to reflect God’s love into the world and into our communities. Working together to serve others, we visibly show our love for God and neighbor, and we continue the ministry Jesus began – bringing good news to the poor, proclaiming release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, setting the oppressed free, and proclaiming the Lord’s favor. I am blessed to be in ministry together with New Covenant, as we make disciples of Jesus Christ who, empowered by the Holy Spirit, love boldly, serve joyfully, and lead courageously in local communities and worldwide connections.

A little about me: I grew up in rural southwestern Minnesota. After graduating from the College of Saint Benedict and working in the finance world for a while, I moved to Connecticut in 2003. I have two daughters and was blessed to be active in their school activities when they were younger. They keep me grounded, loved, and laughing. In addition to spending time with my kids, I enjoy reading, doing all kinds of puzzles, and watching my younger daughter play volleyball.
I answered God’s call to pastoral ministry in 2022. Since then, I have filled the pulpit in several churches and have been serving New Covenant since September 2023.​​
We hope you will come worship with us and meet Pastor Jennifer!
