Edward W. Mohr (March 19, 1935 – February 25, 2021) was an American preacher and pastor known for his nearly four-decade tenure leading Hope’s Point Church in Shelbyville, Indiana. Born in Toledo, Ohio, to Edward and Ruth Mohr, he grew up in a Christian family that shaped his early faith. After graduating from Major Hospital School of Nursing in 1956 as a registered nurse, he worked briefly in healthcare before answering a call to ministry, enrolling at Baptist Bible College in Springfield, Missouri, where he completed his theological training. Mohr’s preaching career began in earnest when he founded Hope’s Point Church in 1961 at age 26, initially meeting in a hospital basement with his wife, Mary, whom he married in 1956. His sermons emphasized practical faith, community healing, and steadfast devotion, growing the congregation over 38 years until his retirement in 1999. Known for his hands-on leadership, he baptized his great-niece on his final Sunday, February 28, 1999. After retiring, he returned to Toledo to be near his sons, Eddie and David, and six grandchildren. Mohr died at age 85 in Toledo, Ohio, remembered for his quiet strength and enduring impact on his church family.
