The Pastor of Springboro United Church of Christ is Terry Carlisle, who has recently celebrated his 30th year as an ordained minister. Terry has had pastoral assignments in Chicago Illinois, Buffalo, New York, Findlay, Dayton and Cincinnati, Ohio, as well as having served as a hospital chaplain and a Hospice chaplain.

He earned two masters degrees, the first in theology and the second in counseling. He has provided private practice family counseling and has been director of a counseling center, a domestic violence shelter, and has provided psychological assessments for a number of special needs.
 

Pastor Carlisle believes in supporting a strong connection for the church youth and including them in the services and outreach programs of the church. He holds a yearly Confirmation class and spearheads a special auto detailing project for the older youth of the church. Sermons in the Springboro UCC will usually focus on practical issues that affect people in everyday life, and he, with other members of the church and the community, provides support groups and consultation/counseling for persons in grief and victims of family abuse. He is also working to re-create a local clergy association to focus the churches in a unified way to speak to and deal with common issues.

He believes in being part of the community, and is a member of the Springboro Chamber of Commerce, and has literally gone door to door with youth and adult volunteers distributing flyers regarding domestic violence, family abuse and other projects or issues.
