VISION

Pastor Phil and Alicia dreamed of planting a Spirit-empowered church with a simple goal: to help people find the life-changing hope of Jesus Christ.  That vision has advanced into a mission and culture with values that have now identified New Hope Church.

Following Jesus is about more than worshipping on Sundays; it’s about how we live.

Our goal is to make disciples… people who love God with all of their heart, soul, mind, and strength. We’ve experienced God’s grace, and it left its mark on us. We can’t help but lead others to experience the grace God has so freely shared with us.

So we teach the word of God, we cultivate an atmosphere for the presence of the Holy Spirit in our services, we pray together, and then we take God’s presence with us to our schools, work places, local coffee shops…wherever we go.

Jesus has called us to live as part of his body and family. To be a Christian is to be in community. And just like any adopted family, we embrace diversity and accept people for who they are.

We bring people together on the basis of what we share — God’s love — and what we have in common is greater than anything that separates us. We embrace people from many walks of life, creating a place where people can gather around the table to share the gospel, life, a meal, needs, prayers, and experience true community.

With salvation comes an invitation to join God in his work of salvation. We believe that through the work of Christ, God is making all things new; we are called to be a living picture of Jesus by our sacrificial service, generosity, love of our neighbors, and proclamation of the gospel.

We want to join the story of sharing Jesus in our community…to see the Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.
