Pastor Nancy Ross-Hullinger

Nancy began her work as the Pastor of the people at the United Church on October 15, 2002.  Nancy is married to Dennis who works for the AHST Elementary School as a custodian.  Dennis has 3 children - Brandon, Nathan and Kelsey.  Brandon and his wife Shannon made Dennis and Nancy grandparents in 2001 and again in 2006 - Emma & Jack.   Nancy enjoys taking part in the daily activities of church life - visitation, worshp preparation, youth work, rummage sale and bazaar set up, and sometimes you can even see her taking out the garbage, scooping snow or setting up tables.
Worship is a warm, family feel.  Nancy would be the first to tell you that "we aren't always decent and in order."  We like to have fun, and yet still focus ourselves on worshiping our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
