Our Staff
Dr. Dennis Dewey, Senior Pastor
About Me: "A follower of Christ... who happens to also be a pastor. I thought I was going to be an architect, but during my college years, God called me to serve Him and other people as a pastor."
Pastor Dewey oversees all preaching and worship functions, and works closely with other staff and volunteers to plan programs. He also oversees care of the membership, including hospital visits. Pastor Dewey serves the community as a volunteer chaplain for the Kansas City, Missouri Police Department and the KC Division of the FBI. Check out some of his recent sermons on our podcast page.
Chris Borkert, Youth Pastor
About Me: "A pastor...many times unworthy of my calling. A hypocrite... though trying to become less of one each day. A blessed husband and new dad. A lover of life."

Pastor Chris is also actively involved in Hope Fellowship's missions and outreach programs, including short-term missions trips and local outreach programs.

About Me: "Born and raised in Dallas, Oregon. I am very grateful to have been raised in a strong Christian home that gave me a foundation of serving God."
