  • Transitional Pastor

    Rev. Dr. Diane Knauf is an experienced pastor who is intrigued by the ways in which the Holy Spirit is always doing something new in and through the church. Her favorite Bible verse is Romans 8:38-39, a reminder that nothing can separate us from the love of God through Jesus Christ. Diane is a transplanted northerner, having grown up in Rochester NY and most recently served churches on Hilton Head Island and in Raleigh, NC.  She and her husband Drew live in Bluffton, SC, and enjoy exploring the beauty of the lowcountry and the Savannah area. They have two adult sons and a spoiled pup.  Diane is available to meet with you Monday through Thursday or Sundays after worship.  To send Pastor Diane an email click here
