support the ministry of a local church. Frank has a particular interest in preaching and pastoral care.

Frank and his wife, Carrollyn, have celebrated fifty years of marriage. They have two
children and seven grandchildren. Frank enjoys playing golf, listening to jazz, and attending his
grandsons’ baseball games.

Frank has a B.A. from Baylor University and an M.A. from Radford University in psychology. He
also has a Doctor of Ministry degree from Columbia Theological Seminary.

Frank believes that the heart of the gospel is a Word of forgiveness. This is seen most clearly
on the cross. Jesus, the very Son of God was murdered by people he loved. But, as he died
on the cross he said, “Father, forgive them. They don’t know what they’re doing.”

He believes that’s still true today. We still don’t know what we’re doing. Each and every day
we need God’s grace and forgiveness. And when we receive that grace, it enables us to forgive
others. The cycle of sin and shame is broken.

Chase Tucker is originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, and has been passionate about worship and music for as long as he can remember. He began leading worship at the age of 12, which ignited a passion for leading others to Christ through music.

Chase graduated from Belmont University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre. Alongside his wife, he owns and operates a live entertainment business called C&E Live Music Entertainment, where they have the privilege of bringing music to weddings, corporate events, and other special celebrations.

Above all, Chase loves spending time with his wife and their son, Charlie. In his free time Chase enjoys watching sports, working out, and enjoying days with his family. He strives to reflect God’s love and faithfulness in every area of life.

Casey has a passion for using her administrative and organizational gifts to support the work of ministry. In the past she has worked at Cru as an employee in International Finance, as well as working for other churches through the years.
 

Casey was born and raised in Orlando, Florida, and is a third-generation native to The City Beautiful. As the daughter of a minister, her journey of faith began early in her life. Around 2015, desiring a renewal in her relationship with God and the Church, she began exploring Christian communities that differed from her Southern Baptist roots. Casey and her family found Hope in 2025. Hope’s mission to be loving, inclusive, and affirming is what initially brought them, and the warmth and generosity of the congregation is what made them immediately feel at home.

 

Casey is “late deafened,” losing most of her hearing in adulthood due to otosclerosis. She gets along well with hearing aids, in addition to the understanding of friends and family that she sometimes needs additional support. Becoming disabled as an adult helped Casey realize the importance of inclusion and reducing the barriers for connection among people with various physical limitations. 

Casey is also passionate about affirming the Christian LGBTQ community’s place in the Church as beloved children of God, women serving in all ministerial capacities as they feel called, and looking for beauty. 

 

Casey is an avid reader, and also enjoys cooking and baking, birdwatching, watching baseball, and thrifting.

 

She has been happily married to her husband Danny, an artist and her middle school sweetheart, since 2003. They have four children: Olive, Darcy, Jayne, and George. As a family, they enjoy playing games after dinner, and going to Disney together.
