Growing up in Seldovia, a tiny hamlet across from Homer in Kachemak Bay, Ron Hoffman suffered tragedy early with the loss of both his parents at a young age.

Coming to Anchorage and being raised by a family friend, Hoffman became part of the community of Anchorage Baptist Temple. As teacher, administrator and eventually as lead pastor when Dr. Jerry Prevo left to take the helm of Liberty University, Hoffman is a big thinker wanting everyone to know about the grace and truth that a relationship with Christ brings.

In line with that thinking, Pastor Ron and his team at Anchorage Baptist Temple have launched a new chapter for this ubiquitous house of God through a rebranding and new vision they are calling Mountain City Church.

I couldn't be more privileged to chat with my good friend Pastor Ron about this wonderful new beginning. God is in the business of fresh starts on many different levels. CLICK HERE to be refreshed by some of those Scriptures now.

Alaska is blessed to have people like Ron and Mountain City Church in it. Praise God for His goodness.
