Rev. Sean Astop – Minister
Sean has been the minister of St. Andrew’s-Chalmers since 2015 and continues to be blessed to serve a church that seeks to live out its faith by offering care and community to all. He is passionate about a church that lives out the mission of Christ by serving both its congregation and the wider community.
Beyond his ministry at St. Andrew’s-Chalmers, Sean serves as Chaplain of the Uxbridge Fire Department, volunteers with the Loaves and Fishes Food Bank, and helps lead Messy Church, a new worshiping community that brings together food, friends, and faith.

Church Office Administrator – Lindsey Korosec
Before diving into the world of church administration, Lindsey spent several years working with troubled kids and teens—an experience that gave her a deep understanding of people and their unique needs. Then she transitioned to a decade and a half of honing her skills in administration, organization and purchasing.
When she’s not organizing and managing day-to-day church operations, you can find her with a good book in hand, reminiscing about her competitive skating days, or indulging in a warm cup of tea. Lindsey is happily married and a proud parent of two amazing kids. Balancing work, family, and personal interests keeps her on her toes, but she wouldn’t have it any other way.
