Rev. Ann Hampton, ministry founder

God first. Family second. Career third.

A beacon of hope
and spirituality.

Rev. Ann Hampton is not just a name but a beacon of hope and spirituality. While she may not be a psychologist, psychiatrist, or physician, her profound roles encompass being a minister, a dedicated wife, and the proud mother of two talented businessmen. She wears multiple hats with grace, from an author and Bible study teacher to an ardent child of God, deeply troubled by the world’s current trajectory. Her heart rejoices in praising the Lord, and she finds solace in simple joys like line dancing, nurturing her garden, bowling, and cherishing moments with her family.

In her enlightening book, “The Guide to Everlasting Life,” Rev. Hampton delves into the growing unrest, confusion, and animosity that cloud the world. Amidst the chaos, many feel lost, questioning whom to trust and how to cope. Yet she firmly believes that there’s a beacon of hope named Jesus Christ. By embracing Him, one not only finds an advocate who stands by their side but also experiences His unwavering representation before the Father. As we embark on this spiritual journey hand in hand, Rev. Hampton’s earnest prayer is to guide individuals towards understanding and taking the steps towards securing their everlasting life.

He was a Capuchin monk who ran Milwaukee’s House of Peace for the needy for more than a quarter century.

He is truly missed.
