Our Staff
Rev. Nikki Hogarth
Pastor
​
Nikki lives just outside of the City of Delaware, with her significant other, Matt and their four kids, two dogs, bearded dragon, and dwarf hamster. She loves to be outdoors- camping, hiking, kayaking, gardening, or picnicking with family. Nikki is a second career Pastor after spending time as a Community Organizer for her first four years post undergrad, and then as Director of Family and Outreach Ministries, for the past 12 years with Delaware First Presbyterian Church. Nikki has a passion for community engagement and ministering alongside those in the margins. Nikki loves to
meet people where they are- so it’s likely you will find her walking neighborhoods or sharing a cup of tea in a coffee shop rather than behind a desk.
