Staff Team

Pastor Phil is originally from Wisconsin, seasoned football fan, and veteran C&MA worker. Missions has been a huge part of his story, serving in South Korea, Russia, Germany and now the States. Phil loves people, hugs, the Packers (remember, Wisconsin guy), his beautiful wife Melissa, and Jesus above all.

If you want to meet with Pastor Phil, or have questions about faith and God, contact him at phil@thisishope.org.

Amee may have a "part-time" job-description, but you wouldn't know it by how she loves and serves the people in the Hope Church family! Being a nurse by trade, she loves through service and sacrifice. A powerful prayer warrior, she examples a deep, Spirit-led heart for worship. Keys are her instrument of choice, but it's not the only thing she's good at... just ask to see her county fair trophy for Grand Champion Barrow (pig)!

If you want to more about worship at Hope Church, reach out to Amee at amee@thisishope.org.

David LOVES the sound of his own voice... probably how he ended up working in Christian radio in Columbus after graduating from Cedarville University. Don't worry, God is doing the work to teach him humility. He was led to vocational ministry thanks to the Hope Church family discerning that call on his life, and is loving every minute of it!

David heads up discipleship, HopeKids ministry and manages the communication channels, so if you would like to get in touch with Hope Church he's your guy! You can contact David at david@thisishope.org.

Bri will definitely scream for ice cream- and can tell you every great spot in Columbus to get it. Bri is married to Brandon, and mom to Teddy (plus all of our other HopeKids adoptively). Cedarville grad and wizard with just about everything creative, she made the jump to vocational ministry in fall 2023. Her sweet spirit and love of learning have made her a great leader in children's ministry, and a great friend to Hope!

Bri leads all things children's ministry at Hope Church, and you can get in touch with her at hopekids@thisishope.org!

Aslan is newest addition to the staff team and he is a very good boy. Loves zoomies in the worship center, belly rubs, and licking everybody. Is HopeKids' favorite greeter.

Aslan maintains happiness levels for the staff team, and can be reached at hopechurch@thisishope.org.
