🌿 Church Family Spotlight: David & Paulette Castleberry 🌿
Originally from Georgia, David and Paulette have spent about 15 years in Davenport as snowbirds. They first connected with Living Hope back in the spring of 2020. During the uncertainty of COVID, they noticed that Living Hope remained open while many churches closed, and that decision made a lasting impact on them.
Now retired, they enjoy a slower pace of life filled with shopping trips, lunches out, movies, and spending quality time with friends.
Paulette shared that God has been teaching her more about what it truly means to have a personal relationship with Him, something that continues to deepen her faith journey.
When asked what they love most about Living Hope, their answer was simple and meaningful: “The pastor and the closeness of the congregation.”
One of the things we love about David and Paulette is their faithfulness and warmth. During a challenging season of life, David and Paulette have continued leaning on the Lord and experiencing the love and support of their church family in meaningful ways.
They’ve been part of the Living Hope family since those early days and have helped make our church feel like home for so many others along the way. ❤️
