Pastoral Care

The Pastoral Care Ministry of New Hope UMC is here to love and support the members of our congregation.  We believe as Christians we are to love God and to love our neighbor (Mark 12:29-31), and we are here to share in that ministry with you.  Rev. Bill Masciangelo is our Pastoral Care director.

Pastor Bill will provide short–term pastoral care for members of our congregation who request counseling. If long–term care is needed, the Pastor can make referrals to licensed counselors. If you have any question please call the Pastor at 252–455–7117 for more information.
