Pastor Johnny and Patricia Vaughan have been married for 21 years and have raised six children while faithfully serving the Lord. They have served together in ministry since 2004, and founded New Hope in 2017.

Patricia, also known as Sister Trish, has a heart for prayer and a deep love for ministry that shines through in every aspect of her life. She delights in the beauty of God’s creation, finding inspiration in nature and joy in painting. She is passionate about uplifting others on their faith journey, always ready with a warm smile, a listening ear, and a word of encouragement that gently points hearts toward Christ.

Pastor Johnny is a devoted husband, father, and spiritual leader who lives with intentionality and passion for the things of God. An ordained minister with the UPCI, he is known for his steady leadership, genuine love for people, and unwavering commitment to truth. Outside of ministry, he enjoys early morning runs, a good cup of coffee, fishing, playing basketball with his kids, and taking family beach trips. He has a deep love for studying God’s Word and continually seeks to grow in prayer and spiritual discipline. Pastor Johnny brings both strength and humility to the work of the Kingdom, leading with a servant’s heart and a vision to see lives transformed by the power of Jesus Christ.

They both are dedicated to seeing lives changed through the power of Jesus Christ here at New Hope, while building relationships and becoming family with each person who walks through our doors.
