Pastor Jim was installed as our Pastor in January, 2004. His commitment to the Word and his family are strengths that we all benefit from. Jim met his wife, Wendy, in 1989 while he was in seminary at Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis, MO. They were married in 1990 and began serving God's Kingdom together. They have four wonderful children: Aaron, Sarah, Jonathan and Mary-Lynn.

As the Pastor of New Hope it is my heart's desire to make known the glorious riches of Christ so that the church will love the Truth while being equipped to truthfully love our neighbors.

Ben came to New Hope in September of 2004 as the Director of Youth Ministries. Ben met his wife, Julie, while they were serving the Sooyoungro Presbyterian Church in Busan, Korea. They were married in October of 2004. With their love for youth and missions, Ben and Julie have begun to make a great impact on the families of New Hope.

Not only are they a tremendous influence on our youth but they have also begun teaching English as a second language with a desire to show mercy to others.
