The staff and leadership here at Hope Church is comprised of men and women who love, care and pray for every single person in the church. If you have any questions for any of our staff, feel free to reach out and email them or call our church office to speak with them.

Paul has served in local church ministry for over 40 years in various capacities as a youth pastor, adult ministries pastor, church planter/lead pastor, and associate pastor. He is a graduate of Peninsula Bible Church's Scribe School, where he did his biblical studies training under Ray Stedman and David Roper. He is a certified PCC level executive coach with the International Coach Federation, is an adjunct professor at Western Seminary, and the founder of LEDR Coaching and Training. His primary gifts are speaking, teaching, equipping, and pastoring.
Paul and his wife Sherri live in Fair Oaks, CA, have two adult children and 7 grandchildren ranging in age from 18 to 4. They enjoy biking and hanging out with family.

Caleb serves as the Music Leader, seeking to use music to draw hearts and minds toward the glory of Christ. A Sacramento native, an alumnus of Jessup University, and a proud graduate of the school of hard knocks, Caleb is grateful to be part of this church family and considers it a privilege to serve the Lord alongside others who love Christ and His Word.
In addition to leading music, Caleb has spent significant time partnering with recovery and homeless ministries. These experiences have given him a particular heart for those who are hurting, searching for hope, or walking through difficult seasons. He believes the church is called not only to proclaim the Gospel, but also to walk alongside people with compassion, humility, and genuine care.
Caleb is always happy to pray with someone, listen, or sit down and talk over a cup of coffee. Whether through worship ministry or just being present and holding space, his desire is to point people to the hope found in Jesus Christ.

Megan loves to serve behind the scenes to allow ministry to flourish. She has worked at various ministries and churches for the past 15 years both in coordinating small and large scale outreach events and in relational discipleship and care. Her passion is to see the gospel shared and Christ lifted high in her community.
When she is not working, Megan can be found on the soccer field cheering on her 12 year old son and 4 year old daughter. She is married to Matthew, an Associate Pastor at Fremont Presbyterian Church, another local EPC Congregation.

Hope Church is currently seeking a new Pastor to lead our wonderful congregation into its new season. A Pastor Search Committee is in place and we are actively seeking candidates. For more information about this position and how to apply, please contact Megan at megan@hopefolsom.org
