James Herbert, Pastor
|
I’ve served as pastor of New Hope Faith Community since June 2018. My work in vocational ministry began in 1992, after receiving my Bible degree. Since then I’ve had the privilege of serving congregations in four states. I married my college sweetheart in 1993 and we have two beautiful children.
My journey toward a personal relationship with Jesus began when my parent’s divorced. In 1980, I surrendered my life to Christ. In 1987, I received a call to vocational ministry. One of my life Bible verses is 2 Timothy 4:1-5. |
Jessica Grimm, Secretary

I was born and raised in Hanover, PA. I went to South Western High School then transferred to York Vocational Technical School, for Nursing. Later I received an Associate’s Degree in Sciences and Nursing from Harrisburg Community College. Due to a lot of back issues, I am no longer able to practice my love of nursing. I am a Youth Leader at Mason-Dixon Youth for Christ and I run a middle school program after school called PALS (Participate and Learn Skills). I have been involved with Youth for Christ for over 16 years. I use my own life experiences to show my love of Jesus. Every day, there are trials we go through and I do my best to show the positives in life. I also co-own and run a food trailer called Food Adventures. Being the mother of 4 “almost” grown children and grandmother to 3, I stay very busy. I am very happy to be a part of New Hope Faith Community.

I have been the accompanist with New Hope since January 2010. I have played the piano since I was 8 years old and knew when I was very young that God had given me a gift to share with my church family. I enjoy working with the youth at New Hope and have directed many musicals with them. I am happily married to my best friend, Herb and we have a son who serves in the US Army. We are blessed with a beautiful daughter in law ,kiera and an adorable grandson, Bryson. Every day I strive to be a servant of Christ and tell everyone I meet about the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
