Pastor Anthony C. Phelps:
Pastor Phelps grew up in Rhode Island and started his ministry at Living Hope in November 2019. He graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a B.A. in Psychology and worked in the insurance industry for ten years. After he started to attend a Reformed church, God called him to pastoral ministry and he received his M. Div. from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Massachusetts in 2003.

In 2015, he and his family moved to Colorado, where he pastored a church in the United Reformed Church in North America (URCNA) federation. Here in the Lehigh Valley, he desires, by God's grace, to lead us as we "worship the God who gives us Living Hope; grow in the knowledge of our Living Hope; and win the hopeless to this Living Hope." Tony is married to Donna, his college sweetheart, and they have three children. Emily is working (after college) and Ben is a seminary student. David is at home, where he is home schooled. Pastor Phelps serves on the Session (Board of Elders) of Living Hope as a Teaching Elder.
