Worship: In-person worship has resumed. We gather Sundays at 10 am in the cafeteria at Lake Nona Middle School, 13700 Narcoossee Road, Orlando 32832. Due to the ongoing pandemic, we observe mandatory, rigorous safety protocols. All participants must be masked at all times.

Connecting During COVID: Watch your email for links to online gatherings. To join our email list, send a "Contact Us" form.

Bible Doing -- For now, we gather in periodic mid-week Zoom gatherings. Contact us to be added to the email list for more information. In non-pandemic seasons, we gather at a Lake Nona locale on select Tuesdays from 6:30-8 pm.

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:

• God before All
• Kingdom before Congregation
• People before Property
• Love before Doctrinal Precision

Though the list isn’t comprehensive – and frankly, it’s always percolating – we think these convey our posture when we’re at our best.

Join us for worship in-person at 10 am at Lake Nona Middle, or participate via simulcast Zoom. Send a "Contact Us" form to receive a Zoom invitation. For in-person protocols see below.

On Sunday 5/16, Hope  promotes "Little Acts of Kindness All Day" Day -- connecting with One Orlando Alliance's 49 Days of Love and Kindness (4/25-6/12), commemorating all 49 victims at the 5th remembrance of the Pulse nightclub tragedy. We selected 5/16 in connection with one of Hope's theme verses, Matthew 5.16, "Let your light shine before others so they will see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."

On 5/16, we invite Hopesters to wear a Hope T-shirt if they have one and to post thoughts or pictures about the initiative with hashtags #ActLoveGive and #HopeNona . Let's show Orlando and members of the LGBTQ+ community our love.
