Who We Are:
New Hope is an evangelical Christian Church that welcomes all people. Many have discovered a real difference at New Hope. There is a genuine love and work of God taking place that is life changing, bringing lasting hope and answers to life's tough questions. In Jesus Christ, there is hope in every situation. We invite you to discover the difference at New Hope!
The mission of New Hope is to perpetuate the full gospel of Jesus Christ in the love of God, through specific attention to and emphasis upon the centrality of God's Word, world evangelism, Christian discipleship, lay ministry, biblical stewardship, benevolence, and family enrichment.
We strive to a fellowship whose worship blesses and honors God, binging God's power and love into the life of the church and extending the same through the lives of believers into the market place of life; making the love of God visible and real.
What We Believe:
-
In one sovereign God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, perfect in holiness infinite in wisdom, unbounded in power, and measureless in love.
-
In Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Sprit and born of the Virgin Mary. We believe in the victorious life and obedience to the Father, in His atoning death (crucifixion), burial, resurrection, ascension, into Heaven, high-priestly intersession, and His personal return in power and glory.
-
The Holy Spirit works to bring people to God & grow in righteousness. He indwells, baptizes, seals, and guides and bestows his gifts on the body of Christ. Luke 1:35; Ephesians 5:18; Ephesians 4:11-13; I Corinthians 9:6-9, 16:12; Hebrews 7:1-21
About Our Worship
The main purpose of worship at church is to bless, honor and praise God. "Bless the Lord o my soul and all that is within me, bless his holy name," (psalms 103:1). We stress worship as a lifestyle. We bless and honor God by our lifestyle.
Since the Word of God teaches us to sing praises unto God and praise Him on instruments, (Psalms 150:3-6, Psalms 96:2), we sing together in praise & worship. We offer a unique balance of both traditional hymns and contemporary up-beat music that is biblically sound.
For some a slow traditional hymn inspires sincere worship. For others a vibrant contemporary song inspires worship. The result is an exciting and refreshing time of worship that truly exalts God and helps one make a spiritual connection. Seasonal productions may include ensembles or choir and often include children and teens, whose participation is always encouraged.
Prayer is also an important part of worship as is the sharing of the Word of God through preaching, teaching, and often with the aid of audiovisual. The focus is a strong emphasis on the Word of God.
Communion
Holy Communion is offered the first Sunday of each month in the morning worship service.
Water Baptism
Water baptism is an important part of our faith and is symbolic of the work of God's love and grace in our life. We have a heated baptismal pool. You may call the church office to schedule.
