Our Team

Kaleb Hurley

Lead Pastor

Pastor Kaleb was given a vision for Hope Church two years before the doors opened and the dream became a reality.  He has given many years to the call of God to raise up this body of believers and continues to pour himself out to do so.  Pastor Kaleb boldly proclaims the word of God, while building genuine relationships with a desire for ALL people to experience the Lord’s transformation; like his own has been transformed.

Pastor Kaleb was raised up by a discipleship training school and then served as a leader for the program for several years, followed by serving as a Worship & Young Adults Pastor before planting Hope Church.  He is supported by his partner in ministry and wife Kristy, their son and twin girls.  “PK” especially enjoys traveling, date-nights, watching football and connecting with people over a good cup of coffee.

Chuck Apple

Pastor 

Pastor Chuck is a papa of the house and has been supporting and blessing Hope both behind the scenes and from the front for years now. He has a wealth of experience in ministry with 45 years under his belt. From Youth Ministry to Leadership, he likely has it on his resume.

Aside from Pastor Chuck's years in ministry you'll never guess his age as he keeps busy playing pickleball, biking, golfing, weightlifting and cheering on the Green Bay Packers. You'll find his lovely wife Joy at his side and in many stories as well as their 4 kids and 10 grandkids. Set up a meeting with him and you might find him sipping a Coke Zero; he would love to get to know you!

Kristy Hurley

Youth Ministry & Women's Ministry Leader

Kristy is Pastor Kaleb's wife and has been helping Hope Church run since it was only a dream. She takes us to the next level with her administrative and organizational gifts, helping things run smoothly behind the scenes.  Kristy leads our women’s ministry by organizing quarterly Women of Hope events and mentoring women. She also oversees our Junior & Senior High Youth Ministry, making sure that our teens have a space to grow in their faith and have fun.

God developed Kristy’s heart for ministry through ten summers spent overseas doing missions work and attending Bible school. She desires to see the Church be healthy, reach more people and develop hearts that truly seek after the Lord. Among the countless other things she does, Kristy enjoys spending time with her husband, son and twin girls, as well as travelling, reading and being outdoors.

Kelli Kunkel

Administrative Support Staff

Kelli holds the fort down in our office.  As an Administrative Support Staff she is key in church communications, coordinating and anything else she can do to help build God’s Kingdom.  

Kelli joyfully serves on the worship team, enjoys CrossFit, and spending time with her husband Alex and their two little girls. Ultimately, she has a heart for Hope Church and continuing to see God on the move uniting people from all different walks of life to serve, learn and grow together.

Jose Duenes

Children's Ministry Director

Jose stepped into the role of Children's Ministry Coordinator in March of 2025 to help meet a need during an interim phase after faithfully serving in various teams at Hope for 5 years. Jose has a passion for seeing people of all ages mature and grow in their faith.

A few fun facts about Jose is that he was raised in Mexico and English is his second language. He loves spending time with family, including the Hope Church family and has a cat named Vegas! And unlike many of us, Jose does not drink any caffeine!

Chloe Petersen

Worship Director

Chloe has been around Hope for many years.  She was a faithful member of the worship team before taking on the leadership role.  Chloe has a heart that desires to worship the Lord and a great gift to be able to lead us into worship.

And you might not believe it, but Chloe is a black belt! Although now she spends her time keeping up with three kiddos and her husband Micah instead of smashing boards. 

Mark Mireles

Tech Director

Mark took on all the "techy" things as a volunteer in September 2025, then jumped in with both feet to a staff role just a few months later. His expertise and knowledge has been such a blessing, continuing to provide training for our tech team, a quality livestream, and technical support for our entire facility.

He and his wife Jenn have been attending Hope both in-person and online for the past three years until they made a cross-country move from Texas and dug their roots in, passionate to see Hope continue to pioneer and God on the move in our church.

You may not know that Mark is also a skilled musician and recording artist with tons of experience in the music industry. He also is a Warcraft and Star Trek fan, naming 9 different cats with their themes. In between two jobs, his passion for music, 3D-Printing, and pursuing other interests you might find him enjoying a salted caramel coffee and enjoying time with his wife or 2 grown children.

Barry Heine

Benevolence Director

Barry has been faithfully serving at Hope Church since the beginning.  If there is an opportunity to work hard, Barry will be there.  His primary role as a volunteer staff member is to provide support to our Benevolence Ministry, but you never know what kind of project you'll find him working on.

When he's not volunteering at Hope , he is probably caring for someone going through a tough time, or enjoying the great outdoors with his wife Kris while sipping an iced tea.
