I am Chrissy Pedersen, and I am excited to be teaching third grade this school year! This is my second year teaching. My husband and I have three children - Toby, Nora, and Tessa - who also attend New Hope. We love serving as a family at the River Valley Downtown Campus and traveling! You can often find us hanging out with the Young Adults and High School groups at RVC. I look forward to an amazing year filled with growing in our love of God and in our knowledge of the world He's created for us to enjoy! I received a Bachelor's of Human Services with a Minor in Biblical Studies upon graduation from Grace Christian University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 2012.
