Church Staff
Coming Soon...
We are currently in the process to call a new minister to provide pastoral leadership to our congregtation.
This is done through the Southern California - Nevada Conference of the United Church of Christ. Those interested should inquire through the appropriate process and not contact the church directly.
Rev. Nora Jacob
Minister of Reconciliation
Rev. Nora Jacob joined Covina CC in 2021 as our Minister of Social Justice, some years after she retired as Library Services Director at Orange Public Library, went to Claremont Theological Seminary, started a new career path in ministry, and worked with our UCC partners at UrbanMission.
Along the way, she has built amazing restorative justice programs inside the California prison system and developed support programs for those “re-entering." In 2024 she founded a nonprofit organization -- the Restoration & Resilience Alliance -- that provides education and encouragement to justice-impacted individuals.
Rev. Jacob balances a deep spirituality with a passion for justice. In 2026, she was honored to be the first recipient of the UCC Southern California-Nevada Conference Matthew 25 Award. This recognition honors ministries of advocacy and empowerment that invite collaboration with two or more local churches of the Southern California Nevada Conference in service to communities who are marginalized or made invisible within our wider culture.
Irene McConnell
Office Administrator
Irene is a wife, mother, animal lover, and the longest tenured member of our staff. She makes sure everything is ready for Sunday mornings and reminds us of all the other things we forgot to do.
TBD
