Staff and Leadership

Meet the pastors, leaders, staff, and volunteers

Meet the Staff of Living Hope

Living Hope Community Church in Old Greenwich is blessed with a Head Pastor and an Associate Pastor. The church is led by our Elders and the Board of Administration. The church is in great hands! Living Hope is also run by its members. We pay a few of them, but most are Volunteers – Elders, Deacons, and people using their God-given gifts. 

Combining excellent education and experience with a deep love for Jesus Christ, they are dedicated to serving the Church.

Elders

Elders are prominent in the New Testament as on-going leaders of local churches. Together with our Pastors, the Elders listen for God’s leading, chart the course, and set the priorities for the church accordingly. Elders are responsible for the primary leadership and oversight of a church.
