Leadership

Pastor Sean Muldowney

Sean answered the call to lead Hillside Alliance Church in July of 2025 after previously serving as an associate pastor in Pennsylvania and as a lead pastor in New Jersey. He was born in Bridgeport, CT and placed his trust in Jesus after his freshman year of college at the University of Connecticut.

Sean is passionate about helping people find pathways to a deeper relationship with God, believing that the story of Scripture and the life of Jesus can intersect every person's life in a uniquely individual way.

He received his undergraduate degree in English from UConn and his M.Div from Alliance Theological Seminary in Nyack, NY.

Sean finds a lot of joy in simple pleasures like a good cup of coffee, a challenging hike, or a day in an art museum. His two favorite places in the world are Acadia National Park and Yankee Stadium.

He's been married to Jenn since 2011 after meeting in Sean's very first seminary class. They have a young daughter and even younger son and are very excited to raise them in the beauty of upstate New York.
