Tony Smith

Facilities Manager & Maintenance Coordinator

While growing up at Good Hope, Tony quickly developed skills as the “Fix It Man.” No matter what was needed from repairing the AC, designing a renovation or building drama props, Tony was the church’s go-to person. Even while working full-time at UNC Hospitals in charge of Construction, Carpentry and Paint and helping his dad on a side business for years, he served tirelessly behind the scenes at Good Hope as a Trustee and often while leading that team. On many occasions, he has been known to work at church overnight, so it seemed things magically appeared during the night. Tony began serving in this official new role of Facilities Manager and Maintenance Coordinator in January 2018.

Wesley Nelson

Communications Project Coordinator

Wesley Nelson began serving at Good Hope in the August 2018.  Originally from eastern North Carolina, Wesley was saved at summer camp in 2008 but later in his life realized he was doing everything for the wrong reason.  He then rededicated his life at FUGE in 2014 where he felt his call to ministry as a worship leader.  After two years of leading worship, he found he wanted to more specifically serve in AV/Media ministry because he saw the great need for helping others have better access to the Gospel.
