Our TEAM!

Our Lead Pastor

Pastor Jazz Cathcart
Founding & Lead Pastor, Lead Elder
Jazz Cathcart is the founding & lead pastor of Hope City Fellowship.
He is known for fusing his musical giftings, his passion for fitness & personal development, and his burden to impact the community and the broader culture for Jesus Christ into his preaching, pastoring, and leading.
His greatest desire is to glorify God by preaching the Gospel in an uncompromised, uplifting, and relevant way, helping people know and enjoy their Creator while powerfully fulfilling their unique calling in the world, and bringing people together across the lines that so often divide us through Christ.
Pastor Jazz is a graduate of Ashbrook High School in Gastonia, North Carolina, Montreat College where he earned his bachelor’s degree in Christian Education, and Liberty University’s Graduate School & Theological Seminary where he earned his master’s degree in Church Planting & Evangelism.
He is a dad to a seven year old princess named Hosanna and a handsome boy named Tozer who is full pitbull and half teddy bear. To see more, click here.
Our Headship Team
Our headship team is comprised of what the New Testament calls "elders"(1st Timothy 3:1-7, Titus 1:5-9). Elders serve Jesus and their local church by providing oversight for the congregation and are responsible for the church's faithfulness and flourishing as a whole. Some terms that help capture the elders' role are oversight, shepherding, and safeguarding. Our headship team consists of Pastor Jazz, Elder John, and Elder Chuck.
