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 gathering 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:

On Sunday 9/1 we will gather with friends from Washington Shores Presbyterian at 10:30 am for Walk & Worship at Barnett Park (pictured above), 4801 W Colonial Drive, Orlando. Please note: NO meeting at Lake Nona Middle on Sunday 9/1. Our in-the-park worship will include music, reflection on scripture, walking-as-worship and communion -- plus a cookout lunch prepared by the hospitality team from Washington Shores. This gathering will kick off our month-long "Steps for Change" -- aiming to log a collective 1,000 miles (~2 million steps) per week in September to raise awareness and funds for Florida Rights Restoration Coalition. FRRC spearheaded Florida's Amendment 4 to restore voting rights to returning citizens who have completed service for felony convictions; it's now raising funds to pay fines for returning citizens, as determined after-the-vote by the Florida legislature.
As of 8/1/2019, Hope Pres has provided 827 microloans in 80 nations (totaling $21,050) via our lending team through Kiva, a nonprofit agency vetting microloans to entrepreneurs in the developing world and the United States. Find our group by clicking here -- or to learn more about Kiva, check out www.kiva.org .
