Paul Rohling is Lead Pastor of Hope Church. He and his wife, Erin, founded Hope in January of 2011. They absolutely love Marlette and have a strong passion to see Gods purposes fulfilled in their town and the surrounding cities. He desires to awaken the God Sized potential that is in all believers who desire to live sold out lives for Christ.

Before being called to pastoral ministry, Pastor Paul served with ministries such as Teen Ranch, Promise Village and served New Life Clinics for many years as Regional Director and oversaw the Mid-West U.S. operations running several counseling and day treatment programs. 

One of Pastor Paul’s passions is playing guitar. He recorded a live CD with Sprig records and was a featured artist at the Creation Festival back in 2010. He believes anointed music is a vital part of the worship experience. 

Pastor Paul is an Ordained Minister and has a Bachelors Degree from Rochester College. He and his wife Erin reside in Marlette with their four children Amanda and her husband Frank, Elizabeth, Joseph and Abigail.

Erin Rohling is co/founder and Associate Pastor at Hope Church. She has been alongside her husband Paul each step of the way as God called them to plant Hope.

You will find Erin being a mom to her four kids, leading the worship team each Sunday, teaming up with her husband as they meet with couples for counseling, mentoring and encouraging other women, hosting her podcast "Diving Into Deep Waters," and being a jack of all trades in the church.
