Rev. Anne K. Bates
Associate Pastor

Anne was born and raised in Wellesley, Massachusetts. She went to Saint Michael's College and majored in Psychology. After working in the field for a few years she made a change to photography. While enrolled at the R.I. School of Photography she came to know Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior. She will attest that this experience changed her life forever. Feeling the call to full-time ministry, Anne went to Zion Bible College and received a Bachelors in Bible. She went on to pursue and complete a Masters in Divinity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.
