ABOUT US
John Bishop TV is the television extension of the ministry of Living Hope Church and the personal ministry of Pastor John Bishop , who is committed to reaching people with the simple, hope giving and life changing message of Jesus Christ. His goal is to cultivate an Acts 2 church where people from all walks of life can find Christ in an accepting and grace-filled environment.
Our hope and prayer for you is that you can grow in your faith and in your walk with God.
John Bishop TV has become the home church for many. Our weekly broadcast reaches those who are physically or otherwise unable to attend church services, as well as those who are just seeking a church to call home. Many have been hurt by religion, but still desperate to learn about God and fellowship with other believers. Calls and emails are received weekly from men and women of all ages and backgrounds expressing appreciation for the genuine and transparent nature of Pastor John and have either received Christ or grown in their relationship as a result of watching one of our programs. Some even have taken the next step in professing their decision by being baptized in one of our services.
Currently, we are broadcast locally, but it is our dream to reach the rest of this nation and the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to bring hope to the hopeless and be a light to those left in darkness.
The vision for this TV ministry is the same as Living Hope: We exist to passionately, authentically and simply help people know and follow Jesus Christ.
ABOUT JOHN
John Bishop is the Senior Pastor of Living Hope Church in Vancouver, Washington USA. He is married to his beautiful wife, Michelle, and has three children, David, Katie and Hannah.
Pastor John and Michelle, along with four other families, planted Living Hope Church in 1996 which now runs 6 weekend services at 3 local sites in the Vancouver area. Living Hope also has a campus in Hawaii and several international campuses in New Zealand, Mexico, the Philippines and India.
John is a popular speaker at conferences and churches around the world, with a passion to challenge pastors to be about what matters most to the heart of God; reaching the lost.
In April 2011 Johns first book ‘Dangerous Church’ was released in the Leadership Network Innovation series. Drawing insight from the book of Acts, this book unfolds the very personal journey of John, and then his entire church, as they walk out their dangerous faith, risking everything to reach the next one person for Christ.
As a pastor, John strives to cultivate an “Acts 2” church where people pursue being fully devoted Christ followers, and serve each other. He longs for church to be a place where people live the values Jesus died for, where lost people will find a safe place to hear a dangerous message.
Pastor John's only life goal is to know Jesus more every day. In the words of first century Jews, his hope is to be covered in the dust of his Rabbi.
