Servant Leaders
Pastor Eddy Frost
Pastor Eddy has been the Senior Pastor of Journey Church for seven years. He is a graduate of the University of Portsmouth in the UK, and studies at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary and Nazarene Theological Seminary. Pastor Eddy is married to Linda, who is a science teacher at a local High School. They have two adult sons, Simon and Matthew, who married Charity - now a daughter in law.
Pastor Eddy is passionate about building a genuine community of authentic Christ followers at Journey Church, and extending a real welcome and hospitality to anyone seeking to know God. "The Christian life is about discovering that each of us is individually designed to have a real relationship with the living God. Jesus Christ is a living invitation into that life. Discovering this to be true meets the deepest needs of the human soul, and from this life we discover new ways to understand ourselves and each other. If the church is what it was meant to be, it will be a community of people that live out these truths together. My vision for Journey Church is to be a welcoming church that sees the best in each of us, is genuinely easy to be a part of and provides a 'safe place' to encounter God."
Pastor Eddy writes an occasional blog here. He also very occasioanlly tweets a haiku.
Becky Carlile - Lead WorshiperBecky's role is to lead the musicians that provide music ministry to each of Journey Church's worship services. She leads with her own instrument - a remarkably pure and expressive voice and a heart for God. "Music has the unique ability to lead people beyond themselves" says Becky "and then encounter Christ with their hearts as well as their minds." Under her direction, Journey Church's worship style is to integrate contemporary praise and the great hymns of the church. "We want to bring our best to Jesus in worship, both musical excellence and hearts fully open to Him." Eryn Richards and Carrie Smith - Childrens Directors
Eryn and Carrie both have Bachelor's degrees in early Childhood development from Eastern Nazarene College. Eryn is married with 2 young children, and Carrie is married with 4 young daughters - including twins! They bring their professionalism to creating engaging and exciting children's programming for Nursery through 5th Grade to Journey Church called 'Little Lives'. "Jesus had a genuine love for children and recognized in them a capacity to understand God with wonder and simple affection" they say. Using engaging content they create a safe and fun environment for children to grow spiritually. Rev. David Bailey - Missions Minister

"God has a mission to make all things new" says Pastor Dave. "That means that God is working here in New Hampshire and around the world. Journey Church supports missionaries in 150 world areas through the Nazarene church. Specifically Journey Church is sponsoring the drilling of a fresh water well in Haiti, and is closely connected with Helping Hands Outreach Center in Manchester NH - a compassionate mission to men recovering from addiction."
