Our Story

Hope Church is birthed out of a vision to reach more people for Jesus Christ! We are a church plant sent out by Crossroads Church of Albert Lea to do exactly that: Reach More People. Pastor Kaleb Hurley was an Associate Pastor at Crossroads Church for 5 years, before he was released to lead the way in launching Hope Church. After much prayer and preparation, Pastor Kaleb and a team of 44 individuals (& their kids) officially launched Hope Church on September 14th, 2014.

Over the past 9 years Hope Church has actively participated in the community. You will find us in the 3rd of July Parade, traveling with our GoChurch trailer, or holding various outreach events to be a blessing! We have a vision for reaching the lost in this region.

After 8 years of setting-up and tearing-down church every week in a rented facility, we held our Grand Opening of our old-made-new facility on the corner of Main Street and Broadway in downtown Albert Lea on Easter Sunday 2023. While transforming two old downtown buildings into one beautiful church had many challenges, God's favor and blessing is evident through the whole process. We are blessed to have a 3 level 15,000 square foot facility for more ministry to happen in!
