Matt is a pastor & spiritual director from Southern New Hampshire & has served in pastoral ministry for 20 years in New England. But as a native-New Englander, Matt resonates with the skepticism that many bring to organized religion and faith. Between having run many Alpha sessions over the last decade and serving on the Alpha New England team, Matt has seen the positive impact that Alpha has on people who are curious about faith.  ​​Matt spent a decade as an Executive Pastor before he took a role in a diverse congregation in downtown Nashua NH, blending missional & contemplative practices. He serves the Alpha team as the Director of Growth, supporting the team with an eye on effective strategies across the ministry. Matt and his wife Michelle and their two daughters live in Southern, NH.

Diahne has served the Alpha New England team since 2018. She brings this experience plus over 20 years of work in parish ministry and leadership and her current work with pastors and their teams as a global leadership coach with Divine Renovation Ministry, (since 2021), together to support Catholic parishes in running Alpha.

Passionate about equipping individuals and parishes to encounter Jesus and joyfully share the fruits of that with others – to live out the Great Commission given by Jesus Christ to “go and make disciples” – Diahne has found the shared vision and goals of the two ministries aligned to serve both well. "I actually was first exposed to Alpha through my parish's connection with Divine Renovation in 2016 and immediately recognized Alpha is a powerful and essential tool for evangelization and church renewal."

Lisa has served on staff at Alpha New England for over 18 years. She enjoys building and equipping teams to ignite new outreach initiatives specifically in Alpha city movements across Boston and Greater Boston. She provides information, training and support to those wishing to unite to launch Alpha. She was first introduced to Alpha when she attended the course as a guest in 2001 at Grace Chapel after having had a long series of negative experiences with “religious people” and is passionate about creating safe places for others to explore questions about life and faith. She feels especially called to reach those who seem disenfranchised by religion, overlooked or on the fringes of society. She has spoken locally, nationally and globally about her experiences. Lisa and her husband David live in the beautiful state of New Hampshire.

Bobbie is excited about the work that Alpha does in creating welcoming spaces for authentic conversations about faith and life, as her faith was reignited in just such an environment (L’Abri Fellowship in Switzerland.) A certified spiritual director and experienced facilitator of retreats and small groups, she also works parttime teaching, facilitating spiritual direction training and leading retreats at the PAX Center for Spiritual Formation.

She knows New England well, with her adult life having been roughly split between Boston and rural Vermont. In Vermont, she served alongside her pastor-husband at a small church for 15 years. There, she helped lead worship services, designed and ran various programs, and helped lead Alpha several times as part of their outreach and discipleship efforts.

She currently lives in the metro-Boston area with her husband. In her free time, she enjoys all manner of outdoor activities, music making, and time with friends and her three adult children.
