Our Team
Lead Pastor - Paul & Lauri Vanderwarker
After many months of prayer, seeking the Lord's direction, and the unified counsel of Elim, our Elder, and the church Board, we are humbled and honored to have been installed as the Interim Pastors of New Hope Christian Fellowship.
We believe this is more than a change in leadership—it is a season of re-opening the wells, drawing again from the living water of God's presence and renewing the vision He established from the very beginning of this church. As Isaac re-opened the wells that had been dug by his father (Genesis 26), we desire to build upon the strong biblical foundation that has been faithfully laid through the years by those who have gone before us. We are committed to honoring our church's heritage while embracing the fresh work God is calling us to in this season.
In the coming weeks, we will be announcing regular pastoral office hours as another opportunity to connect, pray, and minister together. We are also excited to share a new ministry outreach that will extend beyond our church walls into the Village of Dolgeville. We believe God is opening doors for us to be His hands and feet in our community, bringing hope, encouragement, and the love of Christ to those around us.
We are grateful for the love and support of our church family and ask for your continued prayers as we walk together in unity, seeking the Lord's will for the days ahead. We look forward with great anticipation to all that God has in store as we build upon the foundation He has already established and faithfully follow His leading into the future.
