Anne Ayres
Welcome Coordinator
As the Welcome Coordinator at Redeemer, Anne Ayres is responsible for welcoming visitors and helping new members get connected at the church. Her desire is for all of Redeemer’s visitors to experience a genuine sense of warmth and hospitality and to be encouraged to join the parish family. Anne has enjoyed serving at Redeemer as a facilitator for women’s Bible study, a lector, a volunteer for Night to Shine, and a volunteer for Day 4 Hope. In the Sarasota community, Anne leads a ministry called Soul Sisters SRQ which encourages women to grow in their faith.
She is a native of Minnesota and has lived in many different cities, such as Atlanta, Orlando, Boston, Chicago, and Naples.
Anne’s career background is in hospitality as an executive for Marriott. She also owned a home-staging business in Naples. Anne is married to her husband, Mason, and they have three adult children and one granddaughter. She loves coffee, taking walks, and her husband — although not necessarily in that order!
