Lyndsey Coyle

Administrator

Lyndsey joined the New Hope Staff in early 2020 and is a graphic designer by trade, having been freelancing magazine, advertisement, and other design work for the last several years.

Lyndsey is the first smiling face you see at New Hope, but also keeps up with many of our other ongoing church processes, such as setting up Sunday morning slides, database & website management, and designing/producing New Hope's printed material.

She loves burritos for breakfast, cats, and going to the gym. She can frequently be heard interrupting Richard's sermon prep to demand to know what song has come up on his 1970's Pandora station.
