thartman@satx.rr.com
My name is Terri Hartman and I have participated in almost all aspects of our church’s activities, and now enjoy serving as Youth Director. I graduated from Churchill High School in San Antonio, and I have a degree in Education from Texas Tech. (GO RED RAIDERS!!!) I love being a member of this church and am very excited to be honored in being on staff here. My husband Brad Hartman is a HUGE support. He helps teach the 11am Youth Sunday School class, and helps take care of our Awesome son Braden Harold Hartman. Yes, Harold. My dad also works at the church as one of the associate pastors. I enjoy spending time with my family, church family, and friends. I also enjoy acting like one of my youth, and spending time bonding with them. I am glad to be part of the ministries of First United Methodist Church New Braunfels and I have a strong desire to make a difference for today’s youth. If you are looking for a youth group that is full of love and acceptance look no further. We love God and each other, and I am lucky to have them all. Thanks for checking out my page!

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men… Colossians 3:23 (NIV)
With that Scripture as the basis for my life, it was easy to accept this position at FUMC in 2008. I love devoting my day to serving Jesus, and am pleased to be here for His church and His people.
Twenty-five years ago, I was a church secretary in the Houston area. After some upheaval in my personal life, I went back to the secular work place in a career I knew well…banking. After remaining in banking for many years, I decided that my heart was not in it anymore and started looking around for something outside of the world of finance. That search led me to FUMC, where I hoped I could surround myself with like-minded people who I could call family. I knew I had made the right decision at my first FUMC staff meeting, when Pastor Keith opened the meeting with prayer. Now, THAT was something I was not accustomed to in a bank!
I am married to Fred and we have a blended and extended family of 5 children and 4 grandchildren. I cherish my family and look forward to every minute I spend with them. We live in Bulverde, and I use the 40 minute drive to and from work each day to enjoy our beautiful Texas Hill Country. (Of course, the fact that I don’t have to spend 40 minutes driving in and out of San Antonio is a nice perk too. Have you ever been on Hwy 281 at peak traffic times?)
What an awesome church family this is! Every person is unique, and I have grown to love and appreciate each and every one of you. I look forward to continuing to serve the Lord as I serve you in the coming months and years. I always want to be available…please give me a call if I can do anything at all to assist you.

Sandy Hartman - Wesley Nurse
I graduated from Baptist Memorial Hospital School of Nursing in San Antonio, Texas on June 21st, 1972. I have remained active as a Registered Nurse since that time and have worked in the fields of Intensive Care, Cardiac Care, Emergency Room, Surgery, and Kidney Dialysis. The best Nursing job I have ever had is right here at First United Methodist Church, working with the members of the congregation and with the Community of New Braunfels.
I am married to Dale Hartman and have 3 wonderful grown children; Amy Bradford (husband Cecil), Jeff Smith (wife LaRhonda), and Heidi Smith. I have one Grandchild, Elliott Lee Bradford.
In my spare time I love spending time with my children and Grandson, working with my plants, and reading. I also enjoy spending time with friends and family playing games and visiting. My favorite place to be is at the beach, walking along the shoreline and watching the waves.
I try to live my life by the Bible verses Phillipians 4: 6-7. “Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
