Why Living Hope Church?

We are a church that exists for the glory of God and the good of our community. We know that many people in North Sarasota need the hope that only comes through Jesus Christ. We pray that our church will be one that shares the gospel to all nations.

I Peter 1:3-5

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Our Story

Josh and Lacey have served in church ministry for 11 years. Entering into 2021, God began showing them that he was preparing them for a new season of ministry. As they prayed, God revealed a special area of need and calling. He led them to plant Living Hope Church in the S. Bradenton/N. Sarasota area of University Parkway. Many people live in these neighborhoods without Christ or a strong Christ-centered church nearby.

Josh and Lacey are joined in the leadership team by Pastor Dennis and Chris Komis. Together, Living Hope is committed to fully devoting themselves to Jesus Christ and making followers of him. The church started to meet weekly for Bible study and prayer in October of 2021 and officially launched on September 18, 2022.

Living Hope is a church that follows Christ, displays grace in community, and passionately shares Christ with others.
