Rev. Loren Boyce
God is calling us to do something big!
Rev. Loren Boyce first set foot on the islands of The Bahamas in 2005 while leading a mission team in his role as Associate Director of Mission and Ministry for the Mountain Sky Conference of the UMC, and fell in love with the people and the missional experiences there. After leading more than 20 trips to Freeport and Nassau, a time of discernment during Covid led him to explore moving to Freeport to engage in full time mission work. His first career was in agriculture, a vital skill set as we seek to increase sustainable agriculture on the island. He is passionate about facilitating mission trips that are meaningful for the church groups and beneficial for the community.
What Clients Say
Compassionate
Rev. Jessica is extremely passionate about helping people to discern their call to ministry. The first time I met Jessica I told her about my passions for the church and how I felt like I did not know where to turn next in continuing the candidacy process. She took an immediate interest in me and we scheduled a time to meet that week. Since then she has stood by my side every step of the way offering honest and caring feedback that has been invaluable. She is an amazing, justice filled pastor, individual, and mentor who I am fortunate to have in my life and path towards ordained ministry in the UMC.

Transformational Mission Experiences
I was the leader for my church mission group’s trip to Freeport, Bahamas. It was such a fantastic trip from beginning to end. We were always informed of everything we needed to have taken care of (passports, flights, etc.). It was my first time taking a group internationally and you made it so easy! We were greeted at the airport with shuttle to our hotel that had been booked for us. The hotel and beach were great! We were provided transportation to our worksites and meals and meet some really great and loving people. We worked on repairs to the school in the area that had been damaged by the hurricane and also lead a VBS at a local church. We were always provided the equipment and supplies necessary. The most amazing part was the awesome worship on the beach in the evenings. We worked and worshiped with the Bahamian people. We felt God’s presence all throughout our trip. My students were exposed to another cultural which was an eye-opening and educational experience. We were changed for life! Thank you for a great trip! We can’t wait to come back!

Empowering
Rev. Jessica saw something in me that I'd lost track of. Epiphany is not too strong a word for my experience with her counseling. She took the time to get to know me, then helped me find a direction. The direction was always there, I just needed someone to clear away the cobwebs. I needed someone who could help me see the whole forest even from amidst the trees. That's what Jessica does. She is empowering and she is an architect and builder of self-esteem for her clients. I thank God for her every day.

Ordination Support
Rev. Jessica Boyce has been my mentor in ministry since 2012 through my journey toward ordained ministry as I graduated with my M.Div and moved on to an internship and eventually my first pastoral appointment. I have received so much support from Rev. Jessica. She is truly a pastor through and through. She cares for both your professional and personal journey through life, and helps you to integrate one with the other as you navigate the local church and the United Methodist Church and its requirements. While under her direct supervision, she was willing to meet with me as needed, provided me with examples from her own experience and asked questions to guide me toward finding my own unique answers and ideas for how to handle something in ministry and how to go about preparing for candidacy paperwork and interviews. I cannot say enough about the impact Rev. Jessica has had in my professional and personal life and give her my full recommendation to help others in this way as she goes forward!
