About Our Pastor


In January of this year, 2024, we bid our pastor, Ray Bagnuolo, a fond farewell as he embarks on new experiences away from The Sayville Congregational UCC. Ray, a Presbyterian (USA) Minister of Word and Sacrament, who began serving Sayville Congregational United Church of Christ in January of 2017, left us with sad hearts but full of hope and promise.  His guidance, empathy, patience, dedication and excellence will be sorely missed here.

A biographical sketch of Ray’s early years and career path can be found on the website of the Religious Archives Network.

The church now faces the daunting but exciting task of finding our next pastor.  More to come…
