John F. Hannah

Pastor Hannah is a husband, pastor, speaker, and author who’s impacted thousands of lives through his ministry, prayer, and dedication to service. The foundation for his pastoral passion is rooted in his love for urban youth and teaching others how to grow their relationship with God. He even began his career as a Juvenile Probation Officer in Chicago’s Cook County and eventually transitioned into serving as a youth pastor at a local church for many years. During these times opportunities developed, leading him to perfect the calling for his destiny as the shepherd of New Life.

Pastor Hannah is the founder and lead pastor of New Life Covenant Church Southeast, a non-denominational, multicultural church on the Southside of Chicago. The church has grown to more than 20,000 members. While the numbers suggest a megachurch sized atmosphere, the spirit of the house and its members promote a family environment committed to serving God and community.

Rev. Hannah lives in Chicago, with his wife, Anna, who also serves alongside him, supporting his vision and the mission of New Life Covenant Southeast.
