Pastor Emeritus

Pastor Tim Rolen

Tim served as Senior Pastor of New Hope Community Church from 1992 to 2022, thirty years shepherding the same congregation. Under his leadership, New Hope grew from a combined 150 members into a thriving church family of over 1,000, remaining debt-free for the final three decades. Tim graduated from California Christian College with a degree in Biblical Studies and from Fresno Pacific University with a degree in Speech Communications. Ordained in 1977, he has been preaching since the age of fifteen. Tim also served as a Clovis Police Chaplain for twenty years and as President of the Clovis Ministerial Association. Now serving as Pastor Emeritus, Tim still carries a deep passion for preaching God's Word and a desire to make a difference wherever he can.


Our vision is to compellingly communicate to everyone whom God provides us the opportunity to serve, the all-absolute sufficiency of Jesus Christ who meets our every need.
