We believe that churches should be led, not only by a pastor, but also by a group of men (i.e., elders). Our elders (as well as our deacon) are men that have been elected from our church to lead and serve our church family as elders.

Meet the Pastor
Nathan Francis grew up in Richmond, VA. He graduated from Virginia Tech with a B.A. in Graphic Design in 2003. During college, he served with the Navigators campus ministry and spent two summers in Japan. After college, he stayed in Blacksburg, VA and worked a dozen years in the Information Technology field in design, support, and project management.
During those years, his desire grew for pastoral ministry. Subsequently, he moved his family to Charlotte, NC to attend Reformed Theological Seminary where he graduated with a Masters of Divinity in 2017. They moved to Asheville, NC to become a Pastor of Discipleship and Outreach. They now live in Cane Bay where they planted Hope Community Church PCA.
He met his beautiful wife, Lori, in Blacksburg. He and his wife, Lori, have four daughters & one son-in-law. Nathan loves being outside and Lori’s happy place is the beach. They are excited to be living in the Lowcountry! Nathan enjoys building things, campfires, and anything with his girls.
