The Elder Board

The Elder Board is the primary source of leadership at Hope Church, and is in place to advise the Senior Pastor, protect the doctrinal purity of our church, affirm the spiritual and visionary long-term direction of our church, embody the spiritual values of our church, and enforce any necessary spiritual discipline within the congregation. 

The Elders empower the Staff to lead all of the ongoing year-to-year leadership, ministry, and strategic decisions of the church.

At Hope Church, our congregational form of governance results in our Members voting on key mission critical decisions in our church; to include the calling of a new Senior Pastor, approving our Annual Budget, approving Capital Campaigns, and selecting members of our Elder Nominating Committee and our Elder Board.

Currently, our Elders are: Senior Pastor Matt Collins, Chairman Shane Gardner, Treasurer Dan Williams, Secretary Tom Waterman, Joe Fuller, Bob Tucker, and Mark Zimmerman.
