Youth Pastor
Rev. Shannon Karafanda
Rev. Shannon Karafanda is an Ordained Deacon in the United Methodist Church with a focus on family ministries. She grew up in Morrow, Georgia and worked as a computer programmer before pursuing her call to ministry in 1999.
She has a Bachelor's of Science from Georgia Tech in Managment and a Masters in Divinity from Candler School of Theology at Emory University. She has worked at Brooks UMC, Turin UMC, The Lighthouse, The Church at The Well and Sacred Tapestry. The last three of which were new church starts in the North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church.
Shannon lives with her husband John, her three children and an overly affectionate black lab in Peachtree City, GA. In addition to working in youth ministry she enjoys running, reading, blogging (drk-shannon.blogspot.com) and facebook constantly just to prove to herself that most people aren’t that exciting either.
She is thrilled to be working at Hopewell, where the members are passionate about mission work and are so supportive of youth and children.
