Pastor Appreciation Month 2025
Dusty Hess is also the lead pastor at Hope Church in Sturgis, South Dakota
As someone who spent a long time searching for a place to belong, I am beyond grateful to have found the most amazing church. Pastor Dusty has not only opened his church to my family but also his life and heart. He has helped restore my husband’s trust in the church and in pastors again–something I never thought I’d witness. He’s taken the time to truly get to know our family, to understand who we are, and to walk alongside us in faith and friendship. Pastor Dusty goes above and beyond–not just for us, but for so many others in the Sturgis community. He has poured time, energy, and love into helping not only my child but numerous children in the area. He wears many hats: a coach, a mentor, a friend–but most importantly, he is our Pastor. And for that, we are so deeply thankful. ~ Alicia
