Leadership

Brandon and his wife Stephanie were married in 2011 and have been dreaming about planting a new church since the beginning of 2015. Both of them were born and raised in Indiana, so it's a joy to serve in the Hoosier state. The vibrant culture and beautiful landscape of Bloomington stole his heart. Most importantly, though, he is privileged to preach the good news of Christ's resurrection to young and old, inside the church and in the community, all while clinging to Jesus himself.

He holds an MDiv from Westminster Theological Seminary and a music degree from Ball State University. In the past, he's been a worship director, college minister, youth helper, film and livestream producer, bicycle mechanic, and was on staff at Indianapolis Theological Seminary. He's the proud father of Luella, Isabelle, and Frances.

As Hope Presbyterian prays for elders, we are led by an Oversight Commission made up of elders who attend other churches in our presbytery.  If you would like to contact our Oversight Commission, click the "Contact" button below!

Elizabeth grew up as a PCA pastor's kid in Alabama, where she began volunteering in children's ministry for her home church. She met her now husband, Michael, at Hope Pres in her freshman year at Indiana University Bloomington.  She is currently pursuing a master's degree in English Literature at IU and feels privileged to be able to serve the congregation of Hope at the same time!

Andrew is from the south side of Indianapolis and is married to Christianna. They have three beautiful children, Vivian (9), Charlie (6), and Elaina (2)! Andrew and Christianna met while students at Moody Bible Institute, married in 2010 and then headed off to Covenant seminary where Andrew completed his Master's of Divinity.  Andrew was ordained in 2016 and has served as an Assistant pastor at two PCA churches. Andrew and his family enjoy the outdoors, catching up over a good meal, impromptu jam sessions, and adventuring in their pop-up camper affectionately named "Tiny Tim."
