Reverend renee mcginty, Lead pastor

Pastor Renee and Daniel were born and raised in the Midwest. Born in Moline, Renee spent her formative years in Indiana and Michigan where she met Dan when they worked together at a local restaurant. They married in 1995 and began building a family. They have four children…Hunter, Madeline, Abigail and Samuel. Pastor Renee and Dan have been blessed with three beautiful grandchildren who they love spending time with as often as possible. The McGinty’s settled in the Quad Cities in 2003 and have made LeClaire their home for the last four years. They love the community of LeClaire and enjoy the atmosphere of this beautiful river town!

Pastor Renee served in Lay Ministry for many years serving in a variety of positions. Everything from Nursery Director, Sunday School teacher, to janitor! Pastor Renee felt a deep call to vocational ministry and, in God’s timing, she returned to school at the Iowa School of Ministry and then received her ministry credentialing through the Iowa Ministry Network and the Assemblies of God. She served as the Associate Pastor at Hope Church for two years before being installed as Lead Pastor in August of 2019. What an adventure it has been! 

Pastor Renee is passionate about worshiping the Lord in Spirit and Truth and preaches with practical application in mind. She never tires of seeing the miracle of a changed life after encountering the Word of the Living God! 

In their spare time, Pastor Renee and Dan enjoy strolling through antique shops, spending time with family, and exploring the natural beauty of Eastern Iowa.
