Meet Our Staff

My name is Bob Boehr. The story of my journey to senior pastor is a long and winding road. My early years were influenced by my parents' faith, boys brigade, youth groups and summer camps. After high school I attended Columbia Bible College where I strengthened the foundations of my faith but did not believe pastoring was in my future. I took the easy route of heading into electronics at BCIT and worked in the industry a couple years before God called me to campus ministry at Columbia Bible College mixed with summers as a leader at summer camp or on short term missions to Kenya. I began working with high-risk youth in Abbotsford and getting my Microsoft certification before being called to Living Hope as a youth pastor in 2008 (I had been a member here since 1994). In 2017, I began my MA in Leadership at Trinity Western where I realized my values of exploration (especially God's word and world), creatively and lightheartedly sharing what I learned with the audience God has entrusted to me. This led me to a brief stint as transitional pastor and as a Campus Pastor at Elim Village. I was called back to Living Hope and this current role in 2026 and am excited to see how Christ leads us in the years ahead.

My name is Carla Hordyk. My husband Richard and I are founding members of Living Hope and have been delighted to serve Jesus in this local community of believers since 1994. I have been involved in various volunteer roles including Worship Team, Overseers, and Small Group Ministry. Most of my career I have spent in a corporate setting, working my way into executive administration. In the latter 6 months of my corporate role, I began to hear the Lord calling me out, but had no idea how it would transpire. Long story short, the company I had worked for ended up restructuring, and my position came to a close shortly after which the office of Associate Pastor of Discipleship & Administration became available here. Having attended Columbia Bible College as a young adult, my schooling came flooding back, and my passion for sharing God’s love through His Word grew. As administrator, I enjoy organizing and supporting from behind the scenes, and as an associate pastor, I enjoy building relationships, resourcing our Young Adults and Small Groups, preaching, and co-teaching classes in baptism and membership. Richard and I have been blessed with 2 daughters, Alyssa and Kelsey, who are young adults growing in their relationship with Christ. I enjoy playing piano/guitar, entertaining family, friends (and new friends!), trying out recipes, watching old “Me TV” type shows and reading.

My name is Alyssa Hordyk, and I have joined our Living Hope staff in March of 2021 as the Children’s Ministry Coordinator, and in Spring of 2022 added the role of co-leader in our Youth Ministry (together with Bless). I grew up at Living Hope where my parents were founding members. As such, the Children’s Ministry has come to hold a very special place in my heart. I never thought that I would be where I am today, because I was “that kid” who cried at absolutely every new experience -- just ask my old Sunday School Teachers! Through our yearly Summer Day Camp Programs, I was given opportunity to serve the church with things like painting and decorating for the day camps. This eventually led to becoming a Director of our day camps for 5 summers. I am forever grateful for these experiences because not only did they help develop my teaching, administration, and leadership skills, but they also grew the passion I have today to work with children and youth. I am excited to get to know your child(ren) and teach them about Jesus!
