Who We Are | Living Hope Bible Church

Growing and Changing in Christ

Welcome to our blog! We are excited to launch a blog that will be helpful to our Living Hope church family and other churches that also want to “grow and change” into Christ’s image. We plan on posting various types of articles, both theological and practical from every area of living.

Meet our Pastors

Eph. 4:11, "And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers..."

Matthew Black

Senior Pastor

Matt’s vision is to see a true Antioch church model established at Living Hope – a church that is multi-cultural and multi-generational – a church that truly reflects heaven. Matt has been married to his loving wife Jill for 24 years, and they have three girls and two boys.

Associate Pastor Search

We are looking for an associate or assistant pastor. The person applying may not be ready to be an elder/pastor of the church and may begin as a pastoral assistant. The person will likely not have all the qualifications listed, as the qualities are ideal. We are looking for someone who is passionate about the gospel and ready to be an administrator of our children's ministries and other programs.
