LEADERSHIP

We’re called to be disciples who spread the love of God and His message of hope.​

At Blessed Hope Ministries, servant leadership is an embodiment of our divine calling to emulate Christ’s selfless example. By placing the needs of others before our own, we not only mirror the essence of Jesus’ teachings but also foster a church community of genuine care and compassion.

This approach not only strengthens our connection with God but also amplifies the impact of His message of love and hope, as we inspire and uplift those around us through our servant-hearted actions.

Pastor Franklin Boulware

Pastor Franklin Boulware’s journey with Christ began at an early age, but it was in 2005 when he truly established a profound and personal relationship with Jesus Christ. His desire is to bring joy to God’s heart and empower His precious people to flourish in their faith. Guided by his foundational scripture, Philippians 2:5, “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,” he believes that embracing the mind of Christ leads to an abundant life filled with purpose and grace. Pastor Franklin’s love for God finds expression through his gifts as a singer, songwriter, and visionary musician, crafting heartfelt melodies that touch souls and lift spirits high.

As Pastor Franklin’s walk with God solidified, a beautiful love story unfolded when he met Angel Boulware, the love of his life. Their hearts intertwined, and in 2007, they embarked on a sacred journey of holy matrimony. From the love they share, two precious gifts, their daughter and son, graced their lives and brought them an abundance of joy.

As an Atlanta native, Pastor Franklin spent his formative years in Stone Mountain, GA. He pursued his passion for communication, earning a Bachelor’s of Science in Public Relations from Georgia Southern University. Although he found success in the advertising world, the call to make a difference in the lives of young minds drew him towards the field of education. As an elementary school teacher, he discovered profound fulfillment, and this heartfelt passion drove him to pursue further education. He earned his Master’s of Art in Teaching from Liberty University, and in August 2021, he achieved a remarkable milestone by obtaining his doctorate.
Throughout his journey, Pastor Franklin’s unwavering faith and devotion have ignited a flame of hope in the hearts of many. His life’s purpose is to share the message of God’s love, guiding others on their path to a deeper connection with God. In everything he does, his soul resonates with the belief that serving God and His people is a profound and blessed calling.
