It is with deep sorrow and great love that we share of the passing of Nancy Ost. Nancy was married to the founder of ACMNP and loved the mission and the people who have been a part of it deeply.  She was an ongoing encouragement to the national office and a big supporter of every step the organization has taken to develop leaders and extend Christ’s love in national parks.

There will be a memorial service Wednesday, April 30, 2025 at 10:00am ET at Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City. The service will be livestreamed for out of town attendees who would like to join. We will share the link and the obituary when they become available.

If you would like to make a donation in her name, we will use those funds towards our 75^th anniversary events in 2026 in honor of her 75 years of service. You can do so here. Additionally, please feel free to share stories of your time with Nancy. We would love to collect and compile them for others to see as well. If you would like to send Nancy’s daughter a note, you can send mail to ACMNP – C/O Laura Ost at 9250 E. Costilla Ave. #203 Greenwood Village, CO 80112 and we will compile and send them along.

“I’m so proud of what you are all doing in terms of your leadership and imagination and all of those good things. It just warms my heart. Good wishes and best of every kind of happiness and fulfillment in the new year. ACMNP has been a great family and environment to be a part of. I am grateful.” – Nancy Ost, 2024
