Rev. Alex Thorpe
Lead Pastor / Planter of Hope Church
Pastor Alex Thorpe is a gifted gospel communicator, and he loves people! He has been married to the love of his life, Sonya, for over 31 years. Pastor Alex and Mrs. Sonya have four adult children and five amazing grandchildren: Christian, Keilah, Ethan, Jusiyah, and Kahlon. He loves to cook, loves fishing, and most of all, he loves helping people. In his spare time, Pastor Alex enjoys spending time with his family, especially his wife when they’re out on a date night or watching movies at home. Pastor Alex lives by the whole counsel of God’s word, but two verses that offer specific encouragement for him are Romans 8:28 and Proverbs 3:5-6.
Pastor Alex says, “Preaching and teaching are a passion of mine, and because of my calling, it is essential for me to be able to study to share the timeless truth of God's word through clearly prepared messages. To do this brings an indescribable joy to my heart! Telling people about Jesus is what I believe HOPE is all about.”

Glenn is happily married to his wife Alisa and they pray that together they can invest into the next generation and build a community of authentic believers. Glenn believes that at Hope Church we should foster relationships among believers and in our community, but most importantly we make disciples that go out and make disciples.
