Pastors of Hope    

Pastor Greg & Kim Bruce
Pastor Greg was saved at the age of 7, with a special call of God upon his life he began preaching at the age of 17. He has earned a Business Degree with the emphasis in Computers at UMSL and a Masters Degree in Marketing from Lindenwood University.

Pastor Greg Bruce has committed his life to serving and helping every person, regardless of background and economic status, to discover and fulfill their God-given destiny. Pastor Greg worked side-by-side with his father, Pastor James R. Bruce, for 12 years communicating the positive message of hope.

On November 2, 2000, Pastor Greg became the Senior Pastor of Hope Church. Under Pastor Greg & Kim's leadership, Hope Church has seen God bless them with growth in every area of ministry.  Hope Church has grown from 200 members to over 1,200 members in a short six years. They have added additional worship services in order to accommodate the growth and now are in the process of building a new facility.

Hope Church and Pastor Greg are passionate about meeting the needs of the surrounding community and providing ministries and services that impact every area of life. Refusing to focus on tradition and religion, Pastor Greg's passion is to communicate the unchanging Truth in innovative and creative ways to see lives changed.  "Many christians are bound by the rules of religion that was created by man instead of enjoying the freedom and fulfillment that comes from a real relationship with a real God." says Pastor Greg.

While the commitment to the local community is strong, Hope Church's international commitment is also increasing with new Bible schools and churches being started and growing every day in the Philippines. 

There is a new generation rising at Hope Church, a generation without limits.
