Our Pastors:

Todd & Karon Hadley

Todd & Karon are the founding pastors of New Heart Gathering. They understand Christian community as dynamic, improvisational, and participatory, like a jazz ensemble. They have worked to share and model a safe and brave space for over 17 years. Along with the compassionate and kind people of New Heart, they welcome mystery, realizing faith is not simply a belief system, but is at its best a journey of discovery and a perpetual reorientation to wonder.

Todd and Karon have lived in Charleston for nearly twenty-five years, and you can often find them on the beaches, wandering its gardens, or laughing with friends at their favorite restaurants. They have been married for 32 years and have four adult children living in Charleston and Brooklyn.
