Lori Snow, administrative assistant

Our Administrative Assistant, Lori Snow, was born in Jackson and raised in Paris. She is the proud mother of McKinley, Killian, Annie Grace, Barrett, and Cullie. She recently left the medical field as a physical therapist and was brought on staff as the Administrative Assistant in September 2022.


Lori enjoys spending time with family and friends, thrift shopping, good Christian music, reading Christian fiction, and an extra hot cup of specialty coffee.  Lori spends much of her time being a mom to her very active and outgoing children and watching them in whatever endeavor they are participating in.


Lori first trusted Jesus as her Savior in the summer of 1987 after hearing the Gospel while at Vacation Bible School here at New Harmony.  One of her favorite Scripture verses is Psalm 139:5. It is clear to Lori that God has given her a heart for the church, administrative tasks, and organization. Lori considers it a privilege to serve in any capacity at NHBC.
