Pastor & Staff

Angelo Sanchez

Pastor

Pastor Angelo and his family are so excited to be joining the Wrightsboro UMC community. He first heard his call to ministry in the summer of 2006, while working as a camp counselor at the United Methodist Summer Camp in Florida. It was this experience that prompted him to add a religion minor to his degree in music and pursue seminary education at Duke Divinity School. Angelo has been serving as a pastor in North Carolina for 9 years and is thankful for the opportunity to serve Wrightsboro UMC.

When he’s not at church, you can find Angelo reading a good book, grilling in his backyard, or doing his best to keep up with his two kiddos, Amelia and Austin. 

Amanda Hunter

Music Director

Amanda Hunter is super excited to be back on the staff at WUMC. She has a Music Performance degree from East Carolina University, GO PIRATES! She has been a music director in the church since 2007, working in many different denominations including Episcopal and Baptist, but predominantly United Methodist. Amanda and her husband, Chris are newlyweds, and expecting their first baby in March. She also loves working in musical theatre with local companies such as Panache Theatre Company and Thalian Association Community Theater. 

Hannah Nguyen

Children's Director

Hannah is excited to be a part of the Wrightsboro UMC family. Being a preacher's kid in the United Methodist Church, Hannah has been a part of several church’s children’s teams. Hannah has been working with children for as long as she can remember. She started out teaching at a child development center in 2007 and has worked in various positions in public schools from Pre-K to 5th grade, until having her son in 2017 when she decided to stay home. That is where she heard the call to children’s ministry, missing being with the kids but also wanting to spend time with her own. Hannah’s heart is for children to come to know, love and serve Jesus and to help empower parents in their role to be their children’s primary spiritual influencers. Hannah and her husband, CJ, have a son, Luke  and are expecting another little one in May 2022. Spend more than a few minutes with Hannah and you will soon figure out her deep love of all things Disney and musical theater.
