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 16 weekend services at 8 local sites in the Vancouver area.  Living Hope also has a campus in Hawaii and several international campuses in New Zealand, the Philippines, and India. 

John has had the opportunity to speak at many conferences and churches around the world, including Church Together (Perth, Aus), Catalyst West, Church Solutions, National Outreach Convention, TBN, Hillsong (Sydney, Aus), and New Hope Church (Oahu, Hawaii).

John led his first International Crusade on November, 16th 2009 in Rajahmundry, India.  Over 20,000 Indians, mostly Hindu, attended the crusade which ended with 17,815 confirmed decisions for Jesus 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. He also has a heart for other pastors and loves helping other churches reach their full redemptive potential.

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.
