In October 1999, church planting couple Glenn and Sue Herschberger began a home fellowship which eventually led to worship services in their garage which led to the official launch in fall of 2000 and what we know now as Real Hope Community Church.
In 2005, Real Hope hired on its second full-time pastor in Craig Legel. Little did we know that God had a grand plan in all of that. In the summer of 2010, Pastor Glenn and Sue were called to International Church Planting in Panama and Craig became the new Lead Pastor for the beginning of a new chapter of ministry here in Lake Mills.
