Tim Hanze

Tim has been our Senior Minister since 1987. He is married to Debby, and they have three daughters and six grandchildren.  Tim received his Bachelor's degree from Johnson Bible College, his Master's degree from Ashland Theological Seminary, and he has pursued Doctoral studies at the University of Tennessee and Kent State University in sociology.

Tim is a fan of movies with Steven Segal and Clint Eastwood.  His perfect day would be to hang out with his grandchildren provided he "has the next day to recover."

Prior to pastoring Hope, Tim and Debby led churches in central Ohio and Tennessee.  Tim is a third-generation minister, and loves most to see people's lives changed by God.
