Assessment

Living Hope Global Methodist Church meets at Atlantic Shores Christian School in Chesapeake. Pastor identified only as 'Pastor Abbie' on the website — first name suggests possibly female lead pastor, which would be a GMC anomaly worth verifying given the denomination's complementarian polity (or could be male nickname). Mailing address 816 Kempsville Rd, Chesapeake VA 23320.
