Leadership

As Hope Presbyterian prays for elders and looks for a new pastor, 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 and helping with administrative work 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."
