Who We Are
Loving. Inclusive. Affirming.
We are a fun and imperfect community of Christ-followers, committed to grow deeper with God and others and reach wider to serve and share God's love with the world. What's more, we look a lot like the universal Church: a multi-ethnic family of all ages, affirming the worth of every human being.
Launched in 2012 as part of 1001 New Worshiping Communities of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), we aim to bring our unique blend of Reformed understanding and passion for Jesus Christ to this emerging community.
Hope is loving, inclusive and affirming -- welcoming people of every race, gender, orientation, age, physical and mental ability, national origin, economic station and political perspective to full participation in the life of our community. All of us are made in the image of God – and each of us is a work in progress.
We believe every Christ-follower is a minister -- and that we live all of our lives unto God.
In a nutshell, here are our priorities:

Forgive Medical Debt
Advent Conspiracy: Alternate Gifts
Hope raised $3,106 during Advent to forgive $310,600 of medical debt through RIP Medical Debt. As of Christmas Eve, we began accumulating funds toward our 2022 goal to raise $10K for our 10th year of existence -- which will eradicate $1 million in a local county. We urge Hopesters and friends to donate to the RIP Fund throughout the year to commemorate birthdays, anniversaries or more.
