Randy Hood
Founding Pastor
I am one of those weird guys that grew up in a family of five generations of pastors, going all the way back to a circuit riding preacher of the 1800’s. As a pastor’s kid, I was highly impacted as I watched my father who desperately wanted to see our little town reached for Jesus Christ and was not afraid to change things in the church to make it happen. I began serving the Lord as a Jr. Higher. In college I found my passion for youth ministry and served there for 17 years. During that time, I finished school and accepted the call to a pastoral role in a fast growing church in Vancouver, WA. We experienced so much of God while there. It was also in Vancouver that I married a beautiful lady by the name of Shauna and we began
our family.
After 14 years, God called our family to Spokane where I became a senior pastor. In 1995, after a lot of praying, we began the journey of our lives leading a group of Christ followers and starting a new church in NW Spokane called New Horizons Community Church. In January 2025, I will complete my 32nd year as Senior Pastor and am excited to be shifting into a staff position as Founding Pastor of NHCC.
