Living Hope Ohio creates unforgettable concerts, inspiring events, and opportunities to serve our communities while pointing people to the enduring hope, peace, and purpose found in Jesus Christ.
An Evening of Gospel Music, Hope & Inspiration
Join us for the inaugural Living Hope Ohio Concert—a FREE community celebration featuring award-winning Christian music artist Doug Anderson and Terry Lee Goffee, “The World’s Premier Johnny Cash Tribute.”
Terry Lee Goffee brings the music and story of Johnny Cash to life in a powerful and unforgettable way. You’ll hear many of Johnny’s biggest and most-loved hits, but this performance goes deeper than a traditional tribute. Through Johnny’s music, Terry uniquely shares the story of Cash’s faith journey—his struggles, redemption, and testimony of hope in Jesus Christ. It’s the music you know, combined with a story you may have never heard told quite this way.
Doug Anderson is a multiple GMA Dove Award-winning artist and Grammy nominee who first became known as a founding member of Ernie Haase & Signature Sound. Today, he continues to inspire audiences across the country with unforgettable music, powerful vocals, and an authentic message of hope. Whether performing cherished gospel favorites or inspiring original songs, Doug has a unique way of connecting with people of all ages.
You’ll also hear a brief, uplifting message from Former State Representative Ron Young, whose personal journey of faith has taken him from public service to sharing the life-changing hope he’s found in Jesus Christ.
Wherever you are on your faith journey, you'll be welcomed with open arms.
Enjoy incredible music, food trucks, community fellowship, and a family-friendly atmosphere.
Admission and parking are completely FREE. Guests are strongly encouraged to bring their own seating.
Come experience an evening filled with great music, encouragement, faith, and Living Hope.

About Living Hope Ohio
Our Vision
At Living Hope Ohio, we believe hope has the power to change lives—and that true, lasting hope is found in Jesus Christ. Our vision is to see communities across Ohio united through uplifting music, compassionate service, and meaningful experiences that encourage faith, strengthen relationships, and inspire people to experience God's love. Whether through concerts, community events, outreach initiatives, or partnerships with local churches and organizations, we are committed to sharing hope that reaches beyond a single moment and leaves a lasting impact.
"More than an event — a movement of hope."
THE FOUNDER
Ron Young
For decades, Ron Young dedicated his life to serving the people of Northeast Ohio. As a former Lake County Commissioner and State Representative, he worked to strengthen communities, improve lives, and help meet the practical needs of those he represented. Throughout his career, public service was both a privilege and a calling.
Today, Ron’s calling has taken on an even deeper purpose.
Having experienced God’s grace and transforming love in his own life, Ron is now committed to sharing the lasting hope found in Jesus Christ. While good government and community leadership are important, Ron has come to believe that the greatest needs of every person are ultimately matters of the heart. Lasting peace, purpose, forgiveness, and hope are found not in politics, but in a personal relationship with Jesus.
Through Living Hope Ohio, Ron’s desire is to bring people together through uplifting music, encouraging community events, and opportunities to experience the life-changing message of the Gospel. His prayer is that every person who attends—wherever they are in their faith journey—will leave with renewed hope for today and the promise of eternal hope through Jesus Christ.
