Our Team
Andrew browning
Lead Pastor
God led Andrew Browning and his wife Sarah to Connecticut in 2013 to begin serving at New Hope Baptist Church. Originally from Tennessee, Andrew studied church ministries at West Coast Baptist College, where he met Sarah. After marriage, God directed them to Charlotte, North Carolina where Andrew served as an assistant pastor. During that time, God began to work in their hearts to move them to New England. Andrew and Sarah have three children—Graham, Reese, and Lewis. Andrew holds a Masters degree in Christian Ministry Leadership from Liberty University.
In his off time, Andrew enjoys cooking in the backyard, spending time with his family, and anything involving sports.
