The Murray Family
Pastor Ben and Annaliese Murray have been serving in full-time ministry together since 2003. After almost 15 incredible years at Daystar Church in Alabama, they felt God calling them back to Wichita Falls to plant a church rooted in hope, purpose, and belonging.
What began as a dream in 2007 became a reality on January 27, 2019, when they launched City Hope Church. Now, nearly six years later, City Hope has grown into a vibrant community where people can experience authentic faith, form meaningful relationships through small groups, and discover God’s purpose for their lives.
If you know the Murrays, you know they are full of life, faith, and passion. Ben and Annaliese are raising four amazing sons—Garrett, Gavin, Gideon, and Gibson—with the belief that nothing is impossible with God. They are honored to lead a church family that welcomes everyone and strives to make a lasting impact in Wichita Falls.
Ben and Annaliese would love to meet you and your family at an upcoming service. Together, they invite you to be part of the journey God is unfolding at City Hope Church!
