Loving. Inclusive. Affirming.
Hope at a Glance
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.
As a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), we're a diverse community of genuine welcome and inclusion for all people -- no matter what you look like, who you love, or where you were born. All of us are made in the image of God – and each of us is a work in progress.
In a nutshell, here are our values:
† God before All
† Kingdom before Congregation
† People before Property
† Love before Doctrinal Precision
Our intention: Never to buy property or build buildings but instead direct those dollars into helping others -- both in our immediate community and around the world.
Hope commits to invest at least 20 percent of offerings beyond our doors. Since 2012, we have given away more than $738,200 – extending compassion across eight biblical ‘pavilions’ of service:
