Rev. Susan Estabrooks - Ministry Leader
I grew up in Moncton and was a candidate for ministry from Mountain View United during the years of the late Rev. Gordon MacBeth.
After attending Mount Allison and Atlantic School of Theology, I served churches in Louisbourg, NS, Oromocto, NB, Huntingdon, Quebec, Trinity St. Stephen's in Amherst and my final 12 years were at Faith Memorial in Florenceville-Bristol.
I retired in July 2025 after 35 years in pastoral ministry and moved back to my home community in Moncton where cats (Maizy and Dixie) and I are getting settled in. I enjoy skating, cross country skiing, walking and cycling and, in the past two or three years, learning to play ukulele! Hoping that some of my experiences along the way might resonate with yours as Visions United as you prepare for where God is leading you as disciples of Christ.
Martha Shaw - Music Director
Martha grew up in a full house as the third daughter of five girls. Her father was a Baptist Minister who has retired several times. Martha was blessed with a musical Mother who taught piano. Learning to play was a given at home and a gift she took for granted for most of her youth.
Martha graduated from Atlantic Baptist College. Music has always played an important role, from accompanying worship teams, and playing for several churches, to teaching piano for over 30 years.
Martha has chaired and served on Committees in her Church. She has also served as President of the Mariposa Skating Club, Town Councillor for Riverview and currently the President of the Moncton Music Teacher’s Association.
Spending time with family is Martha’s favourite past time. She also enjoys knitting, traveling, gardening, and reading.
