Our Staff Members

The staff at Hope Baptist Church has spent many years commited to Christian service. Our staff enjoys serving our community, whether in sharing our faith or just lending a helping hand.

Pastor Glenn Peterson (Senior Pastor)

Pastor Glenn is someone who enjoys reading, listening to music, watching movies, playing computer games and watching and coaching sports.

But he enjoys God more than anything else. His desire is to live faithfully according to the following statement in the Westminster Catechism of Faith: the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.

One way that Glenn enjoys God is by enjoying God’s people. As he spends time with them and sees them grow in their relationship with Jesus, Glenn delights to see them become more like Jesus.

Glenn has been the pastor of Hope Baptist Church since May 2001.

Glenn was married to his wife Wendy in September 1991. They met as singles when they served God in Kenya with Africa Inland Mission. Wendy taught sixth grade at a school for missionary children while Glenn worked with a church. After their service in Africa, they returned to North America to get married and work in the U.S. home office of Africa Inland Mission in New York. Glenn and Wendy have two children.

Glenn received his degree in journalism from the University of North Carolina. Much of his time at the school was spent with Campus Crusade for Christ. This ministry gave Glenn the opportunity to develop his pastoral gifts and sense a call to ministry. After graduating from North Carolina, Glenn attended Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois, where he received his master’s of divinity degree.



Pastor Travis Armstrong (Associate Pastor)

Pastor Travis was born and raised in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. He attended high school at Johnsburg Central School in North Creek, New York. He received a bachelor of religious education, with Pastoral concentration from Practical Bible College (now Davis College) in Johnson City, New York.

He was married in December of 2000 to his wife Becky. They adopted a baby girl (Zion) in March of 2007.

Pastor Travis enjoys hiking and other outdoor activities, most sports, playing with his Jack Russell Terrier (Indiana), and spending time with his wife and daughter. Oh yeah, and he is a huge New York Giants fan. (but he doesn't like the Yankees!)

He has been a part of Hope Baptist Church since being hired in August of 2002. Pastor Travis is passionate about working with the youth and I am passionate about evangelism. For that reason he puts a great deal of effort into sharing the gospel with the youth of our area. He is excited to see what God is going to do in our church and is just thankful to be along for the ride.
