YOUR FIRST VISIT
When you arrive, you will see folks ready to greet you and your family with a handshake, hug, and a warm smile. We have a strong sense of family in all that we do, and you will feel the love of our family from everyone you meet. There will be greeters ready to assist you in answering your questions and getting everyone in your family to the right location. A staffed nursery is provided for infants-3years old, and our KidsChurch is for kids ages 3 years old – 5th grade. As you enter for worship, you will find that our “style” incorporates both contemporary and traditional aspects in a relevant manner through music and messages. Finally, What to wear? A question asked by many, but you will see people in many forms of attire from very casual to dressy, so dress how you feel comfortable.

New Hope Christian Church:Who we Are! - First time visitor
To begin,
- We are a NON-DENOMINATIONAL, INDEPENDENT CHRISTIAN CHURCH in that we do not belong to a certain denomination or group.
- We are a church where EVERYONE CAN BELONG. Jesus desires
a relationship with everyone and so do we. We care about you and your
future, not your past.
- We are a church that’s REAL. We live in the real world;
therefore, we are real with each other about our joys and sorrows, life’s
ups and downs, and life stuff. No masks here.
- We are a church GOING AND DOING. We are not just people
who talk about doing something, we strive to be the hands and feet of
Christ in all we do at all times.
- We are a SIMPLE CHURCH. We believe that God can use
our ordinary, simple lives to do something extraordinary everyday as
we just live our lives for Him.
- We are a church PASSIONATE ABOUT LOST SOULS. We believe the church was established to impact lost souls with the love of Christ.
What we believe,
- We believe in God the Father, the Creator of all things
visible and invisible.
- We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our only
Savior, who was born of Nazareth, both fully human and fully divine,
conceived of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary; who suffered and was
crucified; who died and was buried, and who rose again bodily from the
dead on the third day; who ascended into Heaven and now sits at the right
hand of the Father and will one day return.
- We believe in the Holy Spirit, who is active as God’s
presence today and who indwells every Christian.
- We believe in the Bible, God’s Holy Word. We believe
God inspired the original writings of the Scripture and those original
writings were consequently without error. Because of that, we accept
the Bible as the final authority for all matters of faith and practice.
- We believe the Bible teaches that Salvtion-the forgiveness
of sins-is achieved only by grace through the blood of Jesus Christ.
We believe the Bible teaches that one receives God’s grace by putting
faith in Christ, repenting of sin, confessing Christ, and being immersed
(baptized) into Christ, but that none of these is sufficient in and of
itself for the assurance of salvation.
- We believe people were created to Exist Forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence. Hell is being eternally separated form God. Heaven is being with God eternally.
- We believe in the Church of Jesus Christ, founded on the Day of Pentecost and consisting of Christians everywhere.
