Sally Agostino Associate Pastor Appointment

Published on March 13, 2024

We are thrilled to announce Church Council’s appointment of Sally Agostino as an Associate Pastor at NewHope. 

Sally is currently the Senior Pastor of Southern Cross Community Church (a Baptist Union of Victoria member church in Eltham). She is a gracious and capable leader and her appointment is the culmination of several months of prayer, meetings, dialogue and seeking God together. God’s hand has been wonderfully upon this process.

Sally will start at NewHope at the beginning of May and she will bring many gifts and much blessing to us. We are excited to welcome her. Please join us in praying for her.

Bio

Sally has been a disciple of Jesus for over 30 years, and is called to lead and minister to those who follow him. She’s been married to her husband Raff for 29 years and together they have three adult children and a dog (who rules them all).
