Leadership: The Rev. Jeffrey W. Mello
The Reverend Jeffrey W. Mello
Assistant Rector
Jeff joined the Christ Church staff in June of 2007. A graduate of the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Jeff was ordained to the priesthood in January of 2008.
As Assistant Rector, Jeff shares in the administrative and liturgical leadership of the parish, with particular attention to Newcomer Ministry and Christian Education for children, youth and adults.
Jeff came to ordained ministry following a career as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, most recently in the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Describing his passion for ministry, Jeff writes, "God continually calls each one of us, with love, into deeper relationship. The Church, in Jesus Christ, has the power to transform lives. Sharing these two truths with those who long to hear is the foundation of my ministry."
Jeff lives in Jamaica Plain with his spouse, Paul, and their son. When not at church, Jeff can be found walking the family dog, Spike, around Jamaica Pond, or coaching his son's Little League team.
