Our Staff

Lead Pastor: Rev Bonnie Beam

As a native New Englander, Bonnie grew up in Vermont and attended Eastern Nazarene College where she earned a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. She served as a lay leader in the Church of the Nazarene for twelve years before sensing a call to vocational ministry. Following that call, she earned a Master of Divinity degree at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and was ordained in 2008 as an Elder in the Church of the Nazarene. She has served on staff in churches in Massachusetts and Kansas as an associate pastor, interim pastor, and providing pulpit supply.

Bonnie is happy to be "back home" in New England and serving as the pastor of Journey Church. She lives in Manchester with her husband, Jeff, and their adult daughter, Sarah. Their adult son, Matthew, lives in Somerville, MA. Bonnie enjoys reading, quilting, and watching God transform lives.

Associate Pastor: Tabatha Lesko

Pastor Tabby grew up in the Hooksett Church of The Nazarene. She accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior at camp when she was eight and received the call to Pastor in High School. However, shortly after high school she found herself in a self-destructive lifestyle. At twenty-three she re-dedicated her life to Christ and was an active lay-leader in local church music ministry, discipleship and youth. In 2020, Tabby fully surrendered to God's call on her life to pastoral ministry and received her district minister's license in June of 2023. She joined Journey Church as an Associate Pastor in April 2024 and continues to pursue her studies at Nazarene Bible College.

Tabby and her husband Greg enjoy serving the Lord together in worship. They live in Manchester with three of their four children, Phoenix, Zena, and Jayden. Their adult son, Cameron, lives in Goffstown. Tabby loves serving the local church and building the Kingdom through community engagement and discipleship. She loves the warmer weather, going to the beach, caring for her garden, visiting local farms, and adventuring.
