The Rev. Nadine Pope, Deacon
Nadine Pope was ordained to the Diaconate in 2011. She and her husband Rod moved to Colorado from Georgia in 2018. She seeks to help people recognize their giftedness and boldly use their gifts to further God’s kingdom on earth. In her diaconal ministry she is most drawn to those living on the margins of society, especially people whose lives are complicated by mental health issues, trauma, and the unhoused.
In this Diocese, Deacon Nadine serves on the Diaconal Council, the Board of Examining Chaplains and the High Plains Executive Committee. She is also a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Nadine and Rod have one son, Zach, who is currently an Intern in Family Medicine at UC Davis in Sacramento.
Ms. Branton joined the staff of Good Shepherd as Choir Director in 2015 eventually assuming positions as pianist/organist and director of additional choir at the church.
Connie holds degrees in music from Westminster Choir College in Princeton, NJ, and Boise State University. Her career in church music ministry began at age 12 as organist for a small church in Salmon, Idaho. She has served churches in Colorado, Idaho, California, Kentucky, and New Jersey as a choir director and organist. Prior to moving to Colorado in 2008, she retired from the Boise Public Schools where she taught choir for 27 years. Connie was the first woman and junior high choral teacher to be elected as President of the Northwest Choral Directors Association. Here choirs were featured performers at several state and regional conventions of choral conductors.
Connie is the mother of two daughters, Anna and Sarah, both of whom are teachers in public schools in Colorado. She is also the proud grandmother of Simon Harrison and Ferris Branton.
