  Ann Blakeslee - Associate Pastor

I can't believe I get to have so much fun and still call it a job!  

I coordinate the music ministry, preach about once a month, teach, counsel, deal when technology, and other duties as assigned!  My favorite job is calling out talents and gifts from the congregation and putting them to use.  Ministry is done by the people, I'm here to match people to opportunities to serve.  And serve they do!  We are blessed with capable and talented volunteers and we have room for more! 

I have enjoyed being a part of the New Hope since 1984 and on the staff since 2010.  This church has seen me at my best and at my worst ... and yet I am embraced as a sister made in the image of God.  At New Hope we're broken and forgiven and grateful, and by the grace of God, here we are!

New visitors or seasoned member, we worship side by side, laugh, cry, question, sing, and pray together.  And we find that God is right here among us each day.

Pastor Ann
