New Hope’s Interim Minister has lived in Texas for over 13 years, moving to the Lone Star state for graduate school after receiving her Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, Religion and Psychology from Hastings College in Hastings, Nebraska. She grew up in Kansas where her parents did foster care; she was a sister to more than 60 siblings over the course of 17 years. Her family experience proved to her that God loves everyone. Nothing makes her more enthusiastic than sharing how we can better reflect God’s love as the Body of Christ.
She graduated from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary with her Masters of Divinity degree and The University of Texas at Austin’s School of Social Work with her Master of Science of Social Work in 2015. Cindy is a licensed clinical Social Worker and a Board-Approved Supervisor.
Cindy is married to Charlie and is the proud mother of two young children, one with a rare condition called Arthrogryposis.
