Pastor Josh Sternhagen

Pastor Josh loves sharing the hope and love of Jesus. As a missionary kid, he spent part of his childhood in Africa and as a Pastor he spent his first 16 years in a large Antiguan church in the Caribbean. These cultures have shaped his understanding of God’s love for all people, his heart for diversity, and His joy in bringing different people together as the body of Christ. He and his family have lived in Colorado since 2016.


What brings Pastor Josh hope is seeing children grow up in the faith, seeing brothers and sisters in Christ overcoming challenges with God at their side, and seeing God’s Kingdom grow in spite of personal weaknesses. 

Pastor Josh and his wife Kristin have 4 children, one son-in-law, and Shadow, their rescue dog. As a family, they enjoy traveling to new places, camping, hiking, skiing, and fishing. (Well, Kristin enjoys reading a good book while the rest of the family is skiing or fishing!) 



Administrative Assistant 

Christine's love for God and His people shines through her bright eyes and warm smile. While she’s been a WELS Lutheran her whole life, she loves the diverse community and sense of belonging she’s found at Living Hope. She has been the Administrative Assistant for a year now, and also runs the Women's Bible Study at Living Hope. When she’s not working, you’ll find her attending her kids’ sports and activities, and exploring ways to create fun memories with her family.
