I love spending time with my best friend Heidi (A.K.A. Wife), hanging out with my two boys and my daughter in-law. A couple of changes happened in this new season, my younger son Jordan has entered college life, and I not only get to be "Papa" with my grandson's Jayden, and Landen, but we welcome the newest grandson Oakley to our family! I also enjoy Art, Paddleboarding, Basketball, Football, Technology, and of course Ministry.

Pastor Marsha Krieger
Executive team pastor
I enjoy hiking, going to the beach and almost any outdoor adventure. When I'm not outside, I like to play scrabble, read, and cook. I get to do all of these with my best friend (aka hubby!). My husband Tom is a great photographer and we sometimes go on adventures around the island looking for spots for him to shoot pictures of. My favorite are the night time cruises to find places for him to take star shots. And if I'm not busy with those adventures we are blessed with 10 grandchildren who keep us busy doing crafts, joining us at the beach or inviting us to cheer them on in their sports activities! God has surrounded me with a great family, good friends, and a wonderful team to do ministry and life with!

I am still surprised each morning when I wake up in Hawaii! It is amazing to see the ocean, hike into the falls, visit a volcano, and eat at Cafe Pesto! Most of all, I love serving at New Hope and being a part of such a wonderful family. The Lord is good!
