Pastor Jeff Prewitt
Pastor Jeff Prewitt has been serving the Kingdom of God as a minister since graduating from Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana in 1983. Pastor Jeff was called to serve as a 'missionary at large' in the Town of Menasha in 1988. It was then that New Hope Lutheran Church was born, and the young congregation held its first worship service in August of 1988 with 14 people, and 5 were Prewitt's. Since then, New Hope Lutheran Church has grown to just under 800 members.
Pastor Jeff and his Life Laurie have been married for over 30 years. They have three children. Their youngest daughter, Sarah, is a college student at Concordia University in Mequon, Wisconsin where she is majoring in Education. Sarah is also serving at New Hope Church as a leader in our high school ministry. Their son Jared is a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corp. Their eldest daughter Emily is serving at New Hope Christian School as a preschool teacher. Emily is also serving New Hope Church as the Executive Director of our Children’s and Youth Ministries. Emily is married to Chad Urban who is also in ministry as the Eighth Grade Teacher and Athletic Director of New Hope Christian School.
Pastor Jeff and Laurie met while attending Concordia University in Seward, Nebraska. Pastor Jeff and Laurie are honored to be in ministry together at New Hope. Laurie serves as administrator of the school and as a teacher. Pastor Jeff loves to read, work out, and play basketball. Serving Jesus together is what the Prewitt family enjoys most.
