Executive Pastor

We are a growing, multiplying church located in Medford, MA (four miles north of downtown Boston). With nearly 40 nations represented in our church and two churches planted in the last four years, our passion is to help people follow Jesus in all of life and see God’s kingdom come “in Boston as in heaven.” We pursue this as a worshiping community that connects on Sundays and in Groups.

Guided by the Word and empowered by the Spirit, we equip people to serve God’s mission and seek revival from New England to the Nations.
