Pastor Hoppe was raised in Delano, MN. He graduated from Martin Luther College in 2000 and from Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in 2005. His pastoral journey has taken him to congregations in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and California, each one enriched by his dedication to sharing God’s Word.

​

Chris and his wife, Tasha, have six children: Owen, Sophia, Caylie, Isabella, Evangelina, and Elin. As a family, they enjoy the outdoors, sports, and spending time together. Pastor Hoppe especially loves connecting with people—learning their stories and helping them see how their story fits into God’s greater plan.

 

In every congregation he has served, Pastor Hoppe has initiated or supported ministries including Jesus Cares, GriefShare, recovery groups, and senior outreach for those with memory loss. His mission is always to bring comfort, healing, and the message of salvation through Jesus Christ.
