Meet our Staff

  • Women's Ministry Coordinator

    Abbey grew up with a Christian background, but didn’t personally come to know Christ until young adulthood. The Lord used His people, His Church, and His word to radically change her life. She started out full time as a high school teacher, spent a few years in full time ministry, and now spends most of her time as “Mom” to her son, Teddy. 

    Abbey is a Texas native, but recently moved to the Upper Valley after feeling a clear ask from the Lord. She lived in the area about 10 years ago for a semester in college, and the Lord used the faithfulness of believers to show her what it meant to truly follow Christ. Since then, she has had a heart for the area and helping young women realize what it means to live life abundantly as Christ promises in John 10:10. 

    She has been married to her husband James since 2021 and Teddy is a full-on toddler. That means most of her free time is spent chasing him around, but she also enjoys being outside, eating good pizza, and playing games with friends. Abbey and James are plugged in with Christ Redeemer Church, so you can find them there most Sundays! 

  • Director

    Noah is a former college baseball coach and business owner turned campus minister. After working in sports for many years, he shifted to full-time ministry in 2019. His faith has been shaped by his family, close friends, the local church, and the works of Tim Keller, John MacArthur, Charles Spurgeon, and RC Sproul.

    Noah deeply loves Dartmouth College as he is the grandson and son of alumni. He was born on campus (the old Mary Hitchcock hospital was behind Dick's House), married in Rollins Chapel, and coached baseball for the Big Green.

    Noah and his wife, Alyssa, have three children (Abigail, Nathaniel, & Charlotte) and he loves music, golf, reading, eating doughnuts, and a good cup of Earl Grey tea. The Cranes are active members at Christ Redeemer Church in Hanover and Noah serves on the board of Restoring Hope New England, a local Biblical counseling ministry.
