Our Staff
Jason Zahn ~ Senior Pastor
Living in the Midlands and serving at Hope are a wonderful privilege. I thoroughly enjoy the warm weather and the warmth of the people in this community that I love to call “home.” What a blessing to be a part of the vibrant and dynamic life and ministry of Hope too! God continues to add people and programs to our flock at Hope, which gives us many more opportunities to share the sure hope of heaven that he shares with us through his Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. The Lord has also blessed me with a wonderful wife, Jessica, a son, Micah, and a daughter, Susannah.

Justin Diestler ~ Associate Pastor
I am a graduate of Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, May 2008. I have always been a people person. Since ministry is about reaching out to people with the sure hope of heaven, I have the privilege of getting to know people where they are at and sharing with them the gospel that changes and transforms their lives. I also love my family. At Hope I have the privilege of being part of a family of believers. I have also been trained to handle the Bible in its original languages, Hebrew and Greek. I thank God for faith in his Son who secured and sealed my salvation and for the abundant grace he has shown me in calling me to serve others. I do so resting on the grace and promise of the eternal Good Shepherd stated so beautifully in John 10:27,28, “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.”
