Ministry Team

R.G. Wilson-Lyons loves helping people hear our faith story in ways that bring life, healing, justice and peace to the world and our lives. He is married to Mary Page Wilson-Lyons, who is a PhD student in practical theology at Boston University, and is dad to Nina, 9, and Julian, 4. R.G. loves playing with his children, hiking, exploring nature and cooking.

Shelly’s personal mission comes from the prophet Micah: “to do justice, and love kindness, and walk humbly with God.”

She loves to preach, sing, play and watch basketball, read, take walks on the beach, hike, engage in interfaith conversations and service to the community, write, eat dark chocolate and really good ice cream, and play in the snow.

Shelly’s life-long love for the church in its many varied expressions has led her to serve in urban community centers, on college and university campuses, as a hospital chaplain, on church camp staffs and as a local church pastor.

Dr. Larson plays piano, organ, and directs our choirs on Sunday morning. We are blessed to have his music which lifts our spirits heavenward and teaches our hearts to sing.

Katy is a seminarian at Boston University School of Theology. She is interested in the ways God’s love can be put into action in the world. They experience God’s love through activism, in the garden, and while cooking for friends and family. She is passionate about environmental justice, queer liberation, and parenting her sweet one-year-old son. Katy uses she/they pronouns.

Beth Olson grew up as a PK (preacher’s kid), attending United Methodist, UCC, and Presbyterian churches throughout the Midwest. As a kid at heart, Beth loves to connect with kids at their level, sharing deep, progressive theological concepts in ways that children can understand. From statewide leadership in youth ministry to clown ministry, from peer ministry and advising youth groups to teaching Sunday School, Beth brings her many selves—writer, reader, editor, potter, hiker, musician, traveler, gardener, career coach—to her creative work with children and youth. Her favorite place to be is in God’s good creation (especially the mountains and the beach)… and with all of us—made crazily and wondrously in God’s image.

Lori oversees the financial aspects of our church life to ensure that our resources are always aligned with our mission. She makes sure everything is working in the building so that we have a good home for our ministry, and she helps us plan for our church’s future. Lori is a member of St. Agatha’s Parish who is passionate about ministry to youth.

Simone facilitates all administrative duties, communications (print, social media and etc.).  She also handles all public facing duties and is in office Mon. – Fri. to assist R.G., staff and members.
