New Hampshire is one of the least churched areas in the United States of America. Within three generations, going to church can become almost nonexistent in a family. Our country loses all resemblance of its Christian foundation. We are in that third generation in New England, just a half step behind Old England.
Pastor Howard Kaloogian and his wife Martha are the founding pastors of Grace New England -- a new church plant in Weare, New Hampshire through Grace International. They intend to “re-dig the ancient wells” that first spread the gospel from this region to the continent, then through missionaries to the world.
From the early 80’s, Pastor Howard sat under the teaching of the late Jack Hayford, lead pastor of Church on the Way in Van Nuys, CA and author of many books and hymns, including the popular anthem, “Majesty.” Dr. Steve Riggle, lead pastor of Grace Woodlands and president of Grace International was also instrumental in Pastor Howard’s training for well over a decade. Since 2012, he has served as a member of the Board of Trustees for The King’s University and Seminary. In early 2023, after fulfilling all the course and interview requirements, he was ordained into the Grace International family of 4,900+ churches worldwide.
Pastor Howard has a career history of law, elected office, and civil liberty advancement. He is trained as an attorney and owned his own practice for years. Since 2001, Pastor Howard has worked for Hillsdale College in the institutional advancement department with an emphasis on planned giving, estate planning, and major gift donations. He was elected to office for three terms representing 500,000 constituents. His passion to seek justice in society motivated him to found several civic organizations promoting the founding principles of our country and supporting those deployed to serve it.
Both Howard and Martha are thankful for the sacrifice of those who serve our country and fly a blue star-family flag at their home.
