Ms. Charlene Nubern
Ms. Nubern is the ultimate example of faithful service and consistency. She has been serving young ladies through GA's (Girls in Action) for 60 years, since she was a young teenager. She has also been serving New Hope for so many years through our Music Ministry (Young Ringers and Preschool Choir) and our Children's Ministry (GA's, Summer Reading Clubs, and Children in Action). On top of all this constant activity, she still finds time to manage our library. Thank you, Ms. Nubern, for everything you do and have done for so many years!

The Golden Girls (Brenda Cullins, Shirley Knight, and Debbie Wheeler)
From visiting our shut ins to making encouraging phone calls to being involved in the community to teaching Sunday School... these three do it all. Their faithfulness to so many behind-the-scene ministries is a blessing to so many. Thank you to the so-call "Golden Girls" for everything you do for our senior adults and other each week.

Mr. and Mrs. Ronald & Margaret Lambert
For many years these two have served faithfully in the upkeep of our building and our grounds. They were here at the foundation of many of the great things New Hope now experiences. From taking care of our cemetery to many other aspects of things taken for granted in this place. We thank them for their long legacy of faithfulness to many ministries throguhout our church.

Mr. and Mrs. Corey & Melissa Crider
Services each week are not possible without these two special people who work our sound board, computer, and handle all other video and audio aspects of the church. They help us to worship through video and powerpoint on the screen, and they faithful serve week in and week out on a volunteer basis. On top of that, Corey is currently our Part-Time Caretaker, locking and unlocking the church everytime we need him to among other duties. Thank you to both of you for what you do!

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ray and Mary Cowart
For the years of service in the various ministries of New Hope we say thank you to the Cowart family! Charles Ray has been active in the Sunday School, the Bus Ministry, the Deacon Ministry, serving as a Trustee, and so much more. Needless to say, Mrs. Mary has been right by his side the whole time. What an impact for many years these two made on the New Hope community. God bless you both!

"Minister of the Month" is our way, as a church family, to recognize those who minister in great ways for the Kingdom of God in this church. They are ministers just as much as our ordained staff because they are making a difference in this body of believers and beyond!
When an individual is recognized as the "Minister of the Month", they are publicly presented with a special certificate in the morning worship servce and then posted on this webpage to be remembered for their service. Thank you to all those who serve this place and our Lord.
