Cindy Comiso

PASTOR
A native New Englander and a cancer survivor, Cindy oversees the work of our Care Team. She has an MDiv from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, is ordained in the Evangelical Covenant Church and is a certified spiritual director. Eager to communicate biblical truth to people less comfortable with being preached “to,” Cindy is experimenting with the "dialogical" style of preaching which invites people to preach “with” her. She is married to Glen and they are grateful to be parents of three children.

Kathleen Sharkey

NEXT GEN DIRECTOR
Kathleen grew up right here on the South Shore where much of her family still lives today.  She is the mother of 3 boys, a certified spiritual director and you can even find her playing bass on the church worship team once and a while.  Kathleen has been married to Stephen since 2004.  When growing up, Kathleen had a deep love for the church and God's word, and she is passionate about seeing kids grow in that same love for Jesus and his ways.

Mike Maynard

WORSHIP DIRECTOR
Mike grew up as a pastor's kid moving 13 times across the east coast. His upbringing has made him increasingly passionate about bringing the love of Christ to people in unique avenues; music being one of his favorites.  Mike also owns his own coffee roasting company called 'Awaken Coffee' and strives to demonstrate the hospitality and service of Christ through his love of coffee.  He currently lives in Quincy with his wife Hannah and their two (rather loud, but very affectionate) dogs Mookie and Benni.
