Staff & Lay Leadership
At Hope Ridge United Methodist Church, ministry is a shared effort. Our staff and lay leaders work together to welcome, worship, nurture, and send in Christ’s name. We would be glad to connect with you and help you find the right person or team for your questions.

Meet Our Lay Leaders (2026)
Lay leadership is an important part of life at Hope Ridge. These individuals share their time, faith, and gifts to help guide our ministries, support the work of the church, and care for our community. They partner with our staff to uphold the church’s mission, support our ministries, and strengthen connections within the congregation.
Their roles vary, but each person serves with a heart for discipleship and a commitment to the work God is doing here: helping us live out our call to welcome, worship, nurture, and send in Christ’s name.
