Lawlor for Life: A Journey of Faith, Family, and Discipleship

Nick Boucher’s six years as resident director of Lawlor Hall at Cedarville University left a legacy that echoes through campus even today. Known for his intentional leadership, Nick fostered a culture of discipleship, fun, and spiritual growth, inspiring the rallying cry, “Lawlor for Life.”

A North Carolina native, Nick holds two master’s degrees from Cedarville — a Master of Ministry and a Master of Divinity. Today, he serves as the youth pastor at Patterson Park Church in Beavercreek, Ohio, where he works alongside his father on the same pastoral team. His love for worship, Scripture, and discipleship is evident in his passion for seeing students grow in their faith and rejoice in the Lord.

In this episode of the Cedarville Stories podcast, Nick reflects on his role as a husband to his wife, Emily, and father to their two young sons, Xavier and Theodore. He also shares the fun and creative story of how he proposed to Emily with the help of friends — and a little assistance from Southwest Airlines!

Nick’s journey of pivoting from the pursuit of a career in public relations and journalism to embracing a calling in ministry is a testament to God’s direction and grace. While studying at Cedarville, Nick was deeply influenced by mentors like Dr. Trent Rogers and Dr. Chris Miller, who equipped him for a life of leading and discipling others.

Tune in to hear Nick discuss his journey, his love for people, and his unwavering faith in God’s mercies, which are new every morning.
