Pastor lisa rose mccarthy

Youth Pastor

We’re excited to welcome Pastor lisa, who will join us in the summer of 2025 after completing her current obligations. Originally from Quincy, MA, she has served as a Youth Pastor and Pastor of Missional Engagement, with a heart for the lonely and hurting in our communities. Pastor lisa brings a rich and varied background—including work as a vet tech, dairy farmer, EMT, and legislative analyst.

She holds a BA in Religion from Eastern Nazarene College and a Master of Theological Studies from Boston University. In 2025, she will begin a Doctor of Ministry in Spiritual Formation at Nazarene Theological Seminary. Passionate about the Hebrew Bible and storytelling, she seeks to connect faith with real-life meaning.
