BCNE appoints Maine pastor as new associate executive director

Joshua Presley has been named the new assignment as associate executive director of the Baptist Churches of New England.

A New England Baptist since he unexpectedly moved to Maine 15 years ago, Presley has been the lead pastor since October 2019 of Lakeside Community Church, Waterboro, Maine. In that role he has been “shepherding the flock of God at Lakeside through vision and expositional preaching, as well as overseeing ministry teams” for maximum kingdom effectiveness.

Presley, who is 41, will begin working remotely Jan. 1 from Maine until sometime in the summer when he and his wife, Kelsey, will relocate to central Massachusetts after their two sons, Hudson, 10, and Holden, 5, complete their current school year. Until then, the Lakeside Waterboro members have asked him to stay on as one of four elders.
