His Story

About Roger

Roger and Lori Loomis bring over 43 years of pastoral experience to their ministry and family life. Graduates of Evangel University, with postgraduate work at Liberty University, they have pastored six churches across North Carolina, Alabama, and Ohio.

Currently, they lead Hope Community Church, a nondenominational congregation they founded in Jefferson, Ohio. Roger and Lori are ordained through the E4 Ministry Network and are proud parents of four children and grandparents to nine.

Roger's heart is simple: to resource leaders so they can encourage others. He writes and speaks from the trenches of real ministry — not from a distance, but from decades of showing up, making mistakes, learning, and pressing forward in faith.

His books reflect that same spirit — honest, practical, and grounded in Scripture. Whether you are a new pastor navigating your first call, a seasoned leader facing modern challenges, or a committed follower of Christ looking to go deeper, Roger's work meets you where you are.
