Rev. Alex Shea Will is a pastor, teacher, ministry entrepreneur and fledgling rugby player. Through his ministry, Alex attempts to bring the hopeful message of the Church to not only those who have a faith background, but also those who wonder if the Church has anything left to offer.
Having discerned a call to ordained ministry by way of a Roman Catholic upbringing, a PCUSA summer camp, Evangelical young adult ministry, a traveling Gospel choir, and UCC campus ministry, Alex is adept at crafting diverse worship experiences for congregations of all sizes. Alex currently serves as Associate Pastor at South Church in Andover, Massachusetts - a progressive faith community within the United Church of Christ. As part of his general responsibilities, he provides visioning and leadership for adult faith faith formation and small group ministry.
Alex is also a founder of PATH - a pastoral formation collaborative comprised of clergy, churches, and seminaries, working together to form transformational leaders for the 21st century. Under his teaching responsibilities, the most recent course he designed was entitled "Entrepreneurship and Leadership in the Local Church."
Prior to this, Alex served at Hancock United Church of Church, Congregational in Lexington, Massachusetts and as a worship consultant for Newton Highlands Congregational Church in Newton, Massachusetts.
Outside of local church ministry, Alex is actively involved with the wider United Church of Christ. He serves as Vice-Moderator of the Northeast Association, chair of the New Ministries Team of the Massachusetts Conference, and on the board of The BTS Center in Portland, Maine. Alex has also led worship and a variety of workshops for “Super Saturday.”
Alex is a native of Pembroke, Massachusetts. He received a Master of Divinity from Andover Newton Theological School and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Catawba College, a UCC affiliated school. In his free time you'll likely find him coaching high school rugby, or watching soccer and basketball.
