Hope Church Leadership

Dave Abberger
Lead Pastor
Dave and his wife Danisse have 4 children, Ethan, Evan, Mia and Hudson. Dave played quarterback in the Arena Football League and stays involved with football and community through coaching in Zeeland.
Dave graduated from Seminary in 2003 and was ordained in 2005. He started off his ministry career as a student pastor and eventually became the associate pastor in Lakeview, MI. He served in that role for 10 years before moving to Charlotte, NC and Memphis, TN to least pastoral programs there. Both locations experienced revitalization and tremendous growth during his leadership.
While serving in Memphis, God placed a burden on his heart to return to his home state of Michigan and plant a church. Thus, Hope Church was born and was recognized in 2018 in the top 10 church plants by The Idea Day Network.
