Todd earned his BA from American International College in Springfield MA in 1984, and his MDiv from Andover Newton Theological School in 1987. On Nov. 19, 2017, Rev. Todd B. Farnsworth became the 12th pastor of The Briarcliff Congregational Church.
Rev Todd Farnsworth led a church to become Open and Affirming (ONA) in the early 2000’s, and before that received a State of Vermont AIDS Education Award in 1991. He says that being ONA is fundamental to being part of a faith community.
Todd’s messages often relate to our daily lives and the world around us. He likes to be in the community and bring the congregation with him, and also believes in supporting members in their intentional ministries, involving youth in the service, and making pastoral needs a priority.
During quarantine, Todd led the congregation to embrace new forms of technology and ways of caring for the community. His creativity and passion for BCC led to an online course in COVID haircuts, Online Bible Studies and cooking programs, Online BINGO parties, and a 6-hour live telethon that highlighted the ministries BCC was engaged in at that time.
When he is not actively ministering, Todd enjoys walks with his wife, attending area theater, watercolor painting, exploring tapping prayer, and visiting with their two adult children and friends. He and his wife Martha are active members of the Kitten Academy community (which supports mom cats and their kittens towards adoption) and he plays Santa Claus to that community each year online.
