My Favorite Scripture Verse †: 2 Cor 5:17. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”

PJ Beaver has served in ministry for over twenty years. While serving as Tour Director with America’s Premier Christian Ballet Company, Ballet Magnificat! PJ developed a love for the “Big – C” church, desiring it to thrive and grow in order to effectively share the life changing message of Jesus. During that time, he partnered with hundreds of churches from different denominations across the United States and around the World to share the good news of Jesus through a touring professional dance production. PJ began serving on the pastoral staff of a church plant he and his wife Hannah had been attending while still traveling. During his time the church plant grew to four campuses in different communities. As a pastor, PJ has served church plants, led through church mergers and assisted in church revitalization.

PJ and Hannah were married in 2004 and enjoy friends, strong coffee, being physically active and celebrating how Jesus uses the Good, True and Beautiful point people to the life transforming power of The Gospel. The Beaver family moved to Southwest Florida to serve Hope City Church in May of 2022. Hannah and PJ have two fun elementary aged kiddos who enjoy creating, learning and friends.
