Hey! My name is Steve Baker. In my role as Lead Pastor, I get to do what I love: sharing the good news of Jesus through preaching and vision! I have been married to my amazing wife, Amy Jo, for over 24 years and have three incredible grown children, Carson, Ethan, and Savannah. Although we are newer to Emmanuel, the people of this church already feel like family. And although we are also new to living in New England, we feel right at home! My greatest passion in ministry is equipping and empowering people to love and live like Jesus!

Hello! My name is Luke Proctor. In my role as Family Ministries pastor, I have the privilege of helping with the church's kids and youth, while providing pastoral care to our adults! My wife, Dana, and I have boy-girl twins named Emmett and Jane! We are loving and adjusting to this new phase of life! I'm most passionate about helping people with the thing I personally find hardest to do: being defined by God's grace while being conformed to God's Word. I'd love to meet with you to discuss more!

Hey there! I’m Johnnie Haddad, and I’m the youth pastor! I have the privilege of investing in the lives of students, primarily in middle and high school. My greatest earthly accomplishment was marrying my wife Kait nearly 10 years ago. As Foxboro natives, we met at Emmanuel’s youth group in 2003! Together we have two young children, Ellie and Johnnie III. God used youth ministry to save me, and I am very passionate about being the type of role model I needed when I was a young teenager. My favorite facet of my role is getting to see faith begin and flourish in students. I like riding BMX, weightlifting, and answering theological questions! Come find me and say hi!

Hello! My name is Michael Webb. As the Worship Arts Director, I have the privilege of leading our congregation in musical worship and leading our Creative Arts department! My wife Kaylie and I are so blessed to be a part of such an incredible community of faith at Emmanuel! I'm passionate about teaching the Gospel of Jesus through the medium of corporate singing. Music is an amazing gift that God has given us to express our gratitude and desire for Him, as well as to teach ourselves truths about who He is and what His word says. I’d love to meet you and chat more!

Hey there! I’m Jonathan Lobato, and I’m thrilled to serve as a Ministry Resident here at Church of Emmanuel. My role gives me the incredible opportunity to be involved in many aspects of church life as I receive hands-on-training from our leadership team to prepare for pastoral ministry. My wife, Renée, and I have been part of Emmanuel since January 2024, and we’ve been truly blessed to worship and grow within this loving community. When I’m not at church, you’ll likely find me spending quality time with family, diving into a good video game, playing guitar, or searching for the next great food or coffee spot. Most importantly, I’m passionate about people and sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. I’d love to connect with you and hear your story!

Hello, my name is Brooke Daniels. My family and I have attended Emmanuel for over 17 years, and I’ve worked here for over six years - it's definitely a second home to us! I’ve been married to my husband, Matt, for 20 years - you’ll find him jamming on the keyboard most weeks during worship. We have three children: Sophia is in college, Elliott is in high school, and Gabrielle is in middle school. My roles have included a little bit of everything throughout my time at Emmanuel. But currently, I’m an admin helping keep the leadership teams organized and handling all the office Finance and HR tasks. On Sunday mornings, you’ll usually find me in the lobby - I hope you’ll stop by to say hello!

Hi, my name is Rita MacKinnon. As the Kids Ministry Director, I have the joy of witnessing the incredible stages of growth children go through—physically, mentally, and spiritually. It is a privilege to walk alongside the youngest members of our congregation as they encounter and experience the one true God in their lives. In this role, I also get to be part of an amazing team of adults and teens who serve families by caring for and teaching their children about God. My husband, Don, and I have been married for 34 years. We have two grown sons: David (married to Jordan and living in Texas) and Robert (attending Liberty University). We’re also blessed with two adorable grandbabies, Callum and Cole. I’m passionate about spending time with family. We travel to Texas as often as possible to visit the grandkids or welcome everyone here when they can fly out. Other than that, I enjoy walking around Borderland, exploring historical sites, and catching up with friends over breakfast or coffee. On Sundays, you’ll most likely find me in the Kids Wing. Stop by and say hello!!

Hey there! I’m Kait Haddad, and I’m honored to serve at Emmanuel as the Director of Communications & Ministry Engagement. I had the pleasure of growing up in Foxborough, and believe it or not, I’m the fourth generation of my family to serve at Emmanuel. I also met my husband when we were kids in the youth ministry here together. My goal as Director of Communications & Ministry Engagement is to help each individual within our church family find a place at Emmanuel where they feel they belong and can grow. I’m eager to meet you and find ways to help you get plugged into the body of Christ here at Emmanuel!

Hi, I'm Ed. In my role as Facilities Manager here at Emmanuel, I oversee the operation and maintenance of all the church properties. This includes the church building, the office, two parsonages, as well as the grounds and parking lots. When I'm not working at the church, I enjoy playing golf and spending time with my wife, Jeanette, and my granddaughter. My goal is when visiting here, you find the facilities safe, clean, and comfortable. If for any reason you feel as if that expectation is not being met, please let me know. I am usually around for both services so you can either let me know in person or you can reach me at my email and phone number.

Hello! I'm Darlene and I am the church cleaner here at Emmanuel. I am also the mother of three adult children and YaYa to one awesome grandson. My background is in Early childhood Education/Childcare. I can be found working with the toddlers on a Sunday morning or during the Mom's Group on Thursday mornings. My hobbies include reading, singing worship songs, and watching movies, especially musicals. I enjoy cleaning the church buildings because it gives me the sense of restoring something back to a state beauty, much like God does with us.
