Dr. Rhonda Y. Britton

Our former pastor, Dr. Rhonda Y. Britton concluded her tenure at the end of 2024. Pastor Rhonda had been with us since 2007. 

She is a native of Florida, having moved north to New York/New Jersey for a number of years before answering the call to Nova Scotia. Our community is facing many challenges. We believe that she came to us at God’s appointed time to help New Horizons Baptist offer new hope to those who may not yet know the fullness of God’s love and his abundant grace. Her desire was (and is) that all would grab hold of God’s promises of liberation, abiding peace, and the power to overcome life’s challenges. Pastor Rhonda labored so that the hungry would be fed, the thirsty would receive the living water of Christ’s mercy, the naked would be clothed, drug and alcohol addictions would be broken, domestic and street violence would be stopped and we would thrive as a healthy, vibrant community.

Pastor Rhonda has a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Baruch College, a Master of Communication and information Studies degree from Rutgers University, a Master of Divinity degree from Princeton Theological Seminary, and a Doctor of Ministry degree from Acadia University. She was ordained in 2002 at St. Philip’s Baptist Church, Staten Island, NY.  We believe God brought her to serve in this part of the world for “such a time as this”!  She served well. We wish her the best in her next season.
