PASTOR JOHNNY AHO

 
 

Are you spiritually homeless?

I feel I found my church home in the Evangelical Covenant after growing up a spiritual mutt: when I was young, I went to a Congregational Church, but faith in Christ came alive for me at a Methodist Church. After graduating from Taylor University (an evangelical, non-denominational school) I chased my best friend to California where I married her, and then graduated from a Southern Baptist seminary.

A Baptist pastor friend  introduced me to the Covenant, and when a leader described this movement of churches to me, I felt at home.

Engage with our livestream, and listen to our podcast Hope Anchors, but I really encourage you to visit us in person. While online connecting can be impactful, nothing truly replaces in person connection.

If you come from one faith background, no faith background, or you’re a mutt like me, I believe you’ll find a home with us at Hope.

— Pastor Johnny
