About Hope Center

 Rev. James Ruddy, originally from the Scranton, PA area, is ordained by the Assemblies of God and has been in pastoral ministry for more than 38 years, having served churches in both Pennsylvania and New York. In 1978, he experienced a radical conversion to Christ while serving in the United States Coast Guard, and after working in fiber optic research, began preparing for ministry. Pastor Jim holds degrees from Penn State University and United Wesleyan College (Houghton). He and his wife, Mari-Lee, have three married sons who, along with their wives and families, also serve in pastoral ministry. While Jim & Mari-Lee delight in serving the local church, they have also traveled extensively in missions, advancing the Kingdom of God in multiple nations of the world. 

 Pastor Roger Piger was born and raised in eastern PA until his teenage years, when he moved to Central New York.  He met his wife Cathy while attending high school. They were married in 1992 and the Lord has blessed them with two beautiful daughters. In 2008 the Lord led them into full-time ministry at Miracle Mountain Ranch, a Christian Camp and Retreat center located in Northwest Pennsylvania.  There they were privileged to disciple young men and women, enrolled in the School of Discipleship. During this time he earned a degree from Clarks Summit University. Recently, God directed them to Calvary Baptist and the LeRoy community. Roger has a passion for serving and discipling others by showing them the love God has shown him. During his time off, Roger enjoys the outdoors; and loves to hunt, camp, hike, and even run when there isn’t anything chasing him.
