Dr. Ann Hitt has served the Annetta UMC since July 1, 2016. She is a second-career pastor who freely admits, "Being a preacher's kid, I got out of the parsonage as fast as I could!" She earned a BBA in Management, with a minor in Marketing from the University of Texas at Arlington. After working in various positions for Safeway Stores, Inc., she joined the General Services Administration, working in the National Finance Center in Fort Worth. But while the Call of God may be ignored, it can seldom be avoided, and that Call eventually became irresistible for Ann. She earned a Master's of Divinity from Brite Divinity School at TCU and a Doctor of Ministry from Perkins School of Theology at SMU. She has served on various Conference and District Committees and received a Conference-wide award for Outstanding Clergy Leadership, while still a student pastor. During her acceptance speech she said, "I have the best job in the world, and I even get paid for it!" Twenty plus years later, she still feels that way.
Ann is the Mother of two adult daughters, and Grandmother of three adorable "Littles."
