Leadership Team

The Leadership Team at Hope Community Church meets monthly for prayer and devotions and is under the guidance of Pastor Kelly. They assist in any decisions that need to be made regarding facility use, finances, staffing and ministry needs. They may also be called upon at times to
“preach” and serve communion.
