Co-Pastor Nina M. Cooper

Nina has served 23 years in ministry with her husband, Bishop David C. Cooper.  Together they serve as  shepherds of the New Hope Full Gospel Baptist Church of Albuquerque, New Mexico.  Their vision is to equip, empower, and encourage believers to fulfill their roles as kingdom priests, to impact the lives of their fellow man through effective ministry, and to serve as examples of excellence and compassion in ministry.

Nina’s strong testimony of standing for her husband’s deliverance from drug addiction has positioned her to be used by God as a conduit to help many hurting women pressing toward victory.   Today, she serves in many capacities of influence – as a godly woman, wife, mother, pastor’s wife, co-pastor, women’s ministry leader, worship leader, and intercessor. 

Her spiritual mandate is to help women tear down the emotional facades that lead to spiritual decline and empower them to embrace the Christ-centered thinking, confessions, behavior, and character that lead to fulfillment of their destiny and release of their inheritance in God.  Co-Pastor Nina serves as leader of the Women of Faith Ministry at her local church, and assists with the regional work for the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship (FGBCF)’s Daughters of the Promise.  

As a recipient of God’s unfailing love, Co-Pastor Nina desires to yield to the Potter’s touch and allow Him to make her over into His likeness with ever increasing glory.   As regional overseer of prayer for the FGBCF and guest speaker at conferences across cultures, genders, and denominations, Co-Pastor Nina is being used by God as a catalyst to help other believers experience a life of worship and prayer that is dynamic, powerful, and effective.    

A devoted wife and mother of two sons, Nina is a product of God’s divine influence and grace.   She is currently co-authoring, with her husband David, her first book Finally I Know Why.
