Hope In Sturgis
Pastor Dusty + Elise
Dusty and Elise are college sweethearts who married in 2007. Their two young boys are the joy of their lives. Joel (10) and Micah (6) love riding bikes, being outside, playing soccer and basketball, and throwing things for the family golden retriever to “retrieve.” Outside of church ministry, Dusty enjoys coaching high school football, motorcycle riding, and a good cup of coffee with friends throughout the community. When not busy chasing the boys around, Elise enjoys reading, bike riding, attending her boys’ sporting events, and
sipping on a good cup of coffee!
Hope Church | Sturgis
Bethel Church of Rapid City, under the leadership of Pastor Gerad Strong, had a dream for a church in Sturgis. In 2019, he crossed paths with Dusty and Elise. Soon after, Bethel Church-Sturgis Campus was born. Through the sacrifice and support of many volunteers, Bethel Church-Sturgis grew numerically and in unity as we approached the next phase of our journey. While the church's name changed in the spring of 2024, the mission to know Jesus and make Him known continues to move forward!
