Steve Thompson was born in 1962 in Glasgow, Scotland, and came over to the US as an infant. Growing up on Long Island, NY, Steve was led to the Lord by his mother as a preschooler. He graduated from college in 1985, and gained acceptance into the Chase Manhattan Bank's Management Training Program. Steve married Lisa in 1986, and their first child, Morgan, was born the following year. His second daughter, Elizabeth, followed in 1989.

Brit was born in Denver and grew up in northern Colorado. He was raised in a Christian home and attended Sunday school and worship service regularly with his family. Brit made a public profession of faith as a young child; however, it was not until his freshman year in college that he truly understood the Gospel and was brought to saving faith by the power of the Holy Spirit allowing him to put his trust in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord (Romans 8).

While attending Colorado State University, he met and married Christina, enlisted in the Army National Guard, eventually becoming an officer candidate, and served as a Young Life and Campus Crusade for Christ leader. All these life events helped him to grow in his knowledge of Scripture and faith in Christ.

Brit and Christina have been blessed with four children: Brigette, Daniel, Emma, and Naomi, who all love Lord. The Hoppers were introduced to the Reformed Confession in 1998 when an Army buddy gave Brit a copy of Westminster Confession of Faith. They united with the Presbyterian Church in America in 2006 and have been blessed to serve in local churches, military, and communities. Brit enjoys time spent with the family, learning about almost any period of history, playing board/card games, and talking all things Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.

Scott was born in Omaha, NE and grew up in and around the Midwest before returning to Omaha to finish high school. He was raised in a Methodist Christian home and attended Sunday school and worship service regularly with his family. Scott made a public profession of faith while in 7th grade in Springdale, AK during a televised Billy Graham crusade on a black and white TV.

However, it was not until his Naval Officer orders sent him to Monterey, CA that he truly began to understand the Gospel and was brought to saving faith by the power of the Holy Spirit allowing him to put his trust in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord almost simultaneously with meeting and falling in love with Marcia whom he married prior to being sent to further training in Newport Rhode Island enroute to becoming an engineering office on a destroyer in Honolulu, HI.

Our daughter Michelle was born in Rhode Island and our son Brent in Hawaii 18 months apart. Finding churches during frequent moves was as an interesting journey and God in retrospect was pulling us to the Reformed Confession via RC Sproul and Ligonier influences along with Scott’s discovering and devouring the 13 years’ worth of Martyn Lloyd Jones preaching through Romans that has been digitally transformed for our enrichment via the internet. Matthew’s relating of Nehemiah to coffee drinkers convinced us that CMPCA was where we were being called to serve.

Scott continues to work in the space cybersecurity industry and is known for encouraging, engaging, and equipping teams to solve worthwhile national security hard problems like countering hypersonic missiles and protecting space systems.

Scott enjoys time spent with family, traveling, reading the Bible, teaching, devouring books by exciting reformed authors such as Spurgeon, John Frame, BB Warfield, RC Sproul, Sinclair Ferguson, CS Lewis, JI Packer, MLJ, Herman Bavinck, and pretty much whatever Matthew recommends as being good. Scott enjoys playing board/card games, and talking all things Missions or golf related.
