Our Mission & Beliefs

“Healthy people don’t need a doctor–sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners and need to repent.” –Luke 5:31-32.

We believe the church should be a hospital, where Jesus is our master physician. We desire to be a place where those who are physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually wounded came come and experience healing and grace that we can only find in Jesus.

“Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens of God’s people and also members of His household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the chief cornerstone.” – Ephesians 2:19-20

It can be hard coming to a church, but no matter where you consider yourself in your walk with Jesus–whether this is day one or day ten thousand–you’re a citizen of the Holy One and members of God’s family through Jesus. You’re always welcome here at New Hope. 

“Again Jesus said, ‘Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.’ And with that he breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.” —John 20:21-22

The gathered are sent. This theme is woven throughout Scripture—God calls people to Himself, then sends them out on mission. At New Hope, we don’t believe the church is meant to be a warehouse for the saved. Instead, we’re called to be a community that intentionally equips and shepherds disciples to go and make more disciples...who make more disciples...and so on.

“Blessed are the meek...” (Matthew 5:5); “He who is least among you all is the one who is great.” (Luke 9:48); “He who humbles himself will be exalted.” (Luke 14:11)

Contrary to the thinking of His time and even today, the Bible shows us that Jesus consistently shows up as meek and humble, introducing a set of values that are the polar opposite of what the world values. If this is the way it is in Christ’s Kingdom, this is the way we strive to act and live.
