First Parish Church Congregational

Rev Mark joined First Parish in January 2020. At his past ministry he led courses in bible studies, spirituality, church history, current events; documentary film discussions; museum, theater and monastery trips; and forums and guest speakers on topics such as Islam, Judaism, the environment and the Syrian refugee crisis.  He was also involved in church school and youth programming, punctuated by annual mission trips which Rev. Boyea and his wife, Cindy, helped lead. In a 20-year career before entering the ministry, he served as a coach, athletics administrator, faculty member, counselor, and sport psychologist at the university, college, and private school levels. Dr. Boyea continues to work on occasion with adult, college, and high school athletes and coaches, as well as teachers, musicians and business leaders on the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of human performance and leadership.
