Church Administrator
Nicole Wietrak-Lydon
Nicole Wietrak-Lydon is our Church Administrator. When she isn't in the office making this Sunday's bulletin, you can find Nicole fishing on the shore of just about any local pond.
Before coming to First Parish, Nicole had worked as a newspaper reporter, building contractor, home health aide and everything in between.
She holds a Bachelor's of English from Providence College and lives in Medfield with her husband and two step-sons.
Pastor
JT Hills
Rev. JT Hills is excited to be serving as pastor here in Westwood! Having joined the Southern New England Conference in August 2021, he has served churches in California, Indiana, and Michigan. Born in Nebraska and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, JT is a graduate of Doane University and Pacific School of Religion. Though he comes from a family of pastors, he took time discerning a call to ministry. Now immersed in spiritual leadership, he is eager to be a part of creating the church of the future.
​
In his spare time, JT enjoys watching movies, playing games, resting at the beach, cheering for his favorite sports teams, and heading out on an adventurous road trip. He does it all with his family: wife Kelse, son Jay, and daughter Quorra.
