Nikki Perrine Passante

Associate Pastor npassante@haddonfieldpres.org

Rev. Passante earned dual degrees at Union Presbyterian Seminary in Richmond, VA, graduating with a Master of Divinity and Master of Arts in Christian Education in 2004. She has served churches in Ashland, OR, Media PA, and now Haddonfield. In these concurrent calls, she served as an Associate Pastor and Transitional Minister. Certified as a Transitional Minister at Princeton in 2013, Nikki has served as a bridge in each congregational context, providing connection, stability, and opportunities for spiritual growth, often in the midst of high-conflict environments and after the departure of long-term senior pastors. A natural change agent, Nikki has strengthened the Office of Deacons in each congregation by creating visitation teams, and equally pursues healthy congregational care by bringing and developing Stephen Ministry in two of these churches. Nikki has served on the presbytery-level as the Lead Educator for the Presbytery of the Cascades, on the Committee on Ministry for the Presbytery of Philadelphia managing and negotiating difficult relationships between churches and pastors, and currently on the Mission Committee of the Presbytery for Southern New Jersey. Nikki can often be found in Philly, screaming for or at the Eagles, or visiting her husband Marco at his restaurant in Center City. Nikki and Marco are new grandparents to Giovanni, and love spending time with their beloved dog-child, Louise.
