Rev. Dr. Diana Hodges-Batzka has came to Florence Christian Church in January 2015 to serve as Associate Minister. In 2022, she began her role as Executive Pastor. She brings to her position a combination of her love of people, especially children and youth, and a gift for administration. Her passion is for creating opportunities for people to connect with God in effective and efficent ways. She likes to be organized and keeps an eye on the details around the church. She is married to John Hodges-Batzka since 2009 and their family includes their wonderful, spoiled dog Annie. When not serving the church, you can often find her on the Little Miami Scenic Trail cycling, in her backyard reading and drinking hot tea, or watching Star Wars or Marvel movies and TV shows.
