Pastor Leighton O’Connor is a minister, missionary, and adventurer with a heart for service. From 2019 to 2022, he served as an Associate Pastor at Calvary Christian Church in Lynnfield, Massachusetts, where he ministered to a diverse and growing congregation. Leighton continues to serve in ministry through preaching, outreach, and his nonprofit work.

In 2018, he founded Mission for Hope, Inc, a nonprofit organization committed to helping people experiencing homelessness. Since then, he has led several large cross-country mission trips, providing hot meals, clothing, hygiene products, and spiritual support to those in need across the United States. Whether in urban encampments or remote areas, Leighton brings hope and compassion to the streets.

Pastor Leighton also serves on the board of Good Hope Inc, an international nonprofit organization, where he directs their Homeless Care Program. In addition, he has traveled to Tanzania and Kenya to visit many of the clean water wells funded by Good Hope, witnessing firsthand the life-changing impact of clean water access on rural communities.

In addition to his ministry and mission work, Leighton is a seasoned commercial and maritime photographer. He has photographed numerous major sailing events and regattas, capturing the power and beauty of the sport. You can view his photography portfolio at www.leightonphoto.com.

Pastor Leighton is an avid overlander, camper, hiker, and sailor who enjoys exploring the outdoors and spending time with his adult children. His passion for adventure blends naturally with his calling to serve. In 2024, Leighton married Stephanie, who now serves alongside him in ministry. Together, they continue to share the love of Christ—on and off-road—wherever they are called.
