OUR LEADERS

Hannah Shaffer

Hannah was born and raised in Akron, Ohio. As a child, she started attending Grace Church, Bath Campus, and has loved growing towards Jesus at Grace. In 2013 she became a POWER Kids intern at Bath, eventually moving into the residency program from 2016-2019. Upon graduating from residency, she spent a couple of years in Ashland, OH working in Children’s Ministry at a local church. Eventually, she returned to Grace, and in 2022 began at the Akron East Campus running the POWER Kids program. Hannah received her undergrad in Early Childhood Education from the University of Akron and a master’s degree in Family and Children’s Ministry from Lancaster Bible College.

Besides working with kids, Hannah’s main passions in life involve family, the great outdoors, and all fluffy creatures. Hannah is an aunt to an amazing niece and is excited to welcome another niece/nephew soon. She has way too many animals to count, including a horse named Callie. Hannah’s favorite pastimes include anything outside. She loves hiking through the woods, kayaking down rivers, or riding her horse in pastures while taking time to connect with Jesus. For Hannah, the closer she is to God’s nature, the more she sees God’s beauty.
