Laying The Foundation

Pastor Tyrone Stevenson and First Lady Terrie Stevenson laid the foundation for Hope City Church in 2003. Pastor Stevenson leads Hope City as the Senior Pastor and First Lady stands by his side, as they share an immense love for God and a propensity for people, both collectively and individually. Pastor Stevenson, a prophetic teacher, and leader works tirelessly to turn people towards God and cultivate leaders in the process. First Lady Stevenson, founder of our S.Y.A.N.A (Sister, You are Not Alone) Ministry, works to actively impact and affirm the lives of women. Together, they created our Couples ministry because of their value on marriage and how it stands as the foundation of family; and legacy. Pastor and First Lady are also parents to their two wonderful daughters and their one amazing son. Through 16 years of ministry and 26 years of marriage, their impact is felt both locally and globally.
