Waupaca Ministry of Hope Church 

Changing Lives Through Christ

Senior Pastor, Lentry Vance and First Lady, Malinda Vance

Lentry and his wife Malinda have lived in the King, Waupaca, WI area for the past 28 years, where they raised three sons and two daughters. They are proud of their children and blessed to have six grandchildren and two more granddaughters on the way.


Very early in their marriage Lentry felt the nudge and call from God to devote himself to the ministry of our Lord & Savior. He had the wonderful opportunity to preach and serve inner-city youth at the Summer Camps of Shell Lake Full Gospel Church in Shell Lake, WI for two years. Over the years he has served the Lord as a Board Member, Deacon, and Sunday School Teacher, part of Outreach Ministry and as a Worship Team Member at his local church. Lentry has been able to demonstrate his leadership skills as well as his compassion for God’s people as a member of the Waupaca County Hazmat Team for the past 6 years.


Lentry obtained his Masters of Divinity Degree in December of 2020. He is looking forward to devoting more time to reaching the lost and teaching God’s Word. Lentry and Malinda have enjoyed leading Sunday Morning Prayer time together as one and inviting the Lord to come in and have His way in the Service.


His wife, Malinda has walked by his side and supported him while obtaining her Associates in Interior Design, BA of Science in Business Management and a Master’s in Business Administration. God has given her a passion for Women Ministries and event planning, design and human resources. She has had the pleasure of combining her passions and providing women hope through the spoken word of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
