Rev. Kim Ho

Cambodian Ministries Pastor

Kim serves as our pastor to our Cambodian congregation. Originally from Cambodia where he served in the Army Force during Lon Nol’s regime from 1970 to 1975, Kim was sent officially to the United States as a First Lieutenant in order to train in the Instructor Development Branch of Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. Kim had been trained there for only one month when Cambodia collapsed and was taken by the communist Khmer Rouge. Thanks to the grace of God, and the faithfulness of his new sponsor, the Deer Creek Mennonite Church, Kim found a new home in Iowa, where he first discovered the love of God. With this congregation, he was both baptized and married to his lovely wife, Savang in 1976. Since then Kim has served in a number of ministry leadership roles, both in Iowa and in Lowell. Early in 2002, Kim sensed a calling to pastoral ministries. Partnering at that time with the Lowell First Church of the Nazarene, Kim has served as the pastor of our home-mission congregation, the Lowell Cambodian Church of the Nazarene. As a bi-vocational pastor, Kim is also faithful in sharing the Good News of God as he produces a weekly Cambodian Christian television show (CCTV) in the City of Lowell via Lowell Television Communication (LTC). Kim and his wife have three wonderful children and several grandchildren.

Rev. Marcos R. de Melo

Brazilian Ministries Pastor

Marcos serves as our pastor to our Brazilian congregation. Originally from Brazil, he served there as a pastor and missionary for almost 25 years- 20 of those years dedicated to work in the Amazonas State in the Northern region of Brazil. Throughout all of ministry his passion has been missional- starting and organizing churches. In Amazonas, Marcos met his beautiful bride and ministry partner, Sigrid. They have been married for 23 years, having had 4 children (2 girls, Hadassa and Shavanne who went home to be with Jesus as infants, and later two sons, David & Jhonata). David serves as a musican and Jhonata serves as a sound technician in this missionary work. Pastor Marcos is a graduate of FBN of Amazonas, Faculdade Teológica Betseda of Sao Paulo, and currently a student at Seminário Teológico Nazareno of Brazil. A personal slogan for Pastor Marcos is, “One Body, One Family and One Church”- in it he hopes that God would bless us all together, all people as one family in Christ!

Rev. Deyverson Vianna

Outreach & Evangelism Pastor

Our Outreach & Evangelism Pastor, Deyverson, is a versatile leader who also serves as our bilingual Worship Leader. His journey in ministry began at the age of 16 when he dedicated his life to Jesus in 2008. Within a year, he was leading a youth program 'Life Group' with Mayara, who was his girlfriend at the time. Since then, he has held various roles in that ministry, including Youth-Life Group Coordinator, Leadership School Teacher and Coordinator, Sunday School Teacher, Worship Leader, 'Sports with Purpose' Leader, Missionary, Youth Pastor, and  Senior Pastor. Most of these experiences were in the "Life Group" ministries in Belém do Pará (his hometown) and Caraguatatuba, São Paulo. 

But before all that, when he was just 8, Deyverson met the love of his life (our own Pastor, Mayara Vianna). Nine years later, when they were excellent friends, not to mention a young man in love with God, they decided to be more than just friends and started dating. From the beginning, in the Lord, together, they have been partners in ministry, business, leadership, and friendship!

Married for 13 years, Deyverson and Mayara are parents to two children, Davi and Zoe, who are actively involved in the church's worship team and always ready to serve in any capacity. Their family is set to grow with the arrival of their third child, Isaac. In addition to their family commitments, Pastor Deyverson is pursuing his studies at the STNB seminary, our Nazarene Seminary in Brazil. 

Rev. Mayara Vianna

Discipleship & Teaching Pastor

Born and raised in Brazil, at the age of 12, she gave her life to Jesus and had a profound experience with God in her baptism. In 2009, she began to assist as a leader in the youth program “Life Group” with Deyverson Vianna (her boyfriend then). In this highly blessed ministry, she has served as a Youth-Life Group Coordinator, Preaching Minister in Women's Services, Children's Ministry Leader, Missionary, Youth Pastor, and a Co-Pastor with Deyverson. Most of these experiences were in the "Life Group" ministries in Belém do Pará and Caraguatatuba, São Paulo. 

But before all that, when she was just 9, Mayara met the love of her life (our own Pastor, Deyverson Vianna). Nine years later, when they were excellent friends, not to mention a young woman in love with God, they decided to be more than just friends and started dating. From the beginning, in the Lord, together, they have been partners in ministry, business, leadership, and friendship!

They have been married for 13 years and have two children (Davi & Zoe) and one more on the way (Isaac). Davi and Zoe usually serve on the worship team and are always available to serve in any way necessary. Pastor Mayara is studying at the STNB seminary (Seminário Teológico Nazareno do Brasil), our Nazarene Seminary in Brazil. 

Rev. Allen Weier

Assistant Pastor

Born and raised in Texas, Allen moved up to Massachusetts in 2016 with his wife, Jonelle. While they miss cowboy hats, southern hospitality, and 'Tex-Mex', Allen and Jonelle have made a home for themselves here in New England. Before serving at LFC as the Assistant Pastor, Allen was the NexGen Pastor at the Danvers Church of the Nazarene from 2020-2024. Allen lives with his wife, his adopted grandmother, Liz, and his foster children. Primarily specializing in care for adolescent boys, his home is full of wrestling, laughs, fart jokes, and a few pieces of broken furniture. Amid his busy life and ministry, Allen finds encouragement in the words of James 1:27: “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”
