Early in 2000, a small group of believers came together in a gymnasium in Latrobe, PA, with a shared vision of a church that would help ordinary people become extraordinary followers of Christ. In 2002, this group, led by Pastor Keith Tucci, had grown exponentially and purchased the ground now the home of Living Hope Church in Whitney, PA. The church building was completed shortly afterward, and the church body has faithfully continued to worship our Lord Jesus, to make and equip disciples and to support and send workers to the mission fields.

In May of 2015, Pastors Doug and Paula Allen took over the reins of LHC. In addition to their pastoral duties, a launch pad for those looking for opportunities to serve in our local communities and beyond through practical demonstrations of the love of Christ.

Pastor Mike Williams, Laura, and family followed God’s call to Living Hope and Pastor Mike was set in as lead pastor in March of 2025.
