Who we are
Living Hope Church began in September, 2000. Two families met in a living room and made a commitment to begin a church in the Alpena vicinity that made a difference.
From a gymnasium in a country elementary school, the church doubled its regular Sunday attendance to 21 in three months. By 2002 Living Hope realized the need to renovate and move to a vacant furniture store in the city. Despite considerable inconveniences, the members "made do" and the church increased its attendance to 47 by year's end.
There was no doubt that Living Hope was in the "church business." In addition to the advent of the TNT teen group and the LHPD praise band, Living Hope was conducting life enrichment seminars and holding special holiday functions for both members and the community. It soon became evident that more than 3,000 square feet was required.
With the move to Werth Road in 2004, growing attendance mandated two services. The average Sunday attendance was over 200 by 2007. Additional room for general attendance seating, teen activities, outreach functions and parking were all problematic issues.
Living Hope's leadership recognized that additional space was needed in order to reach the city of Alpena for Jesus. In 2013, Living Hope Church purchased seven acres of land and were planning to build a new facility immediately. The BLBT campaign was postponed when Pastor Tad Martin felt led to resign his position after 15 years of faithful service to Living Hope Church. Living Hope Church began a search for a new Lead Pastor in the fall of 2014.
In May of 2015, Living Hope Church welcomed Pastor Lee Blanchard into the role of Lead Pastor. With strong leadership again in place, Living Hope is excited to move forward with the BLBT campaign and in raising up generations of Christ-followers that are courageous and committed to doing whatever it takes to help ordinary people become passionate followers of Christ.
