Loving. Inclusive. Affirming ... Sharing the Love of Christ.
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.

- Bags to Benches -- In our third cycle of recycling plastic bags to create a beautiful, sustainable garden bench, Hope has generated 211 pounds of bags toward our 1,000 pound goal. Collections continue all calendar year. In our first two years, Hope has spared the landfills of more than 1,700 pounds of plastic! We donated the ensuing two benches to the Fisher House in Lake Nona and to Oviedo Presbyterian, creating a respite for neighbors awaiting public transportation. Eligible items: grocery bags, bags with Recycle # 2 or 4, bread and produce bags, package overwrap, dry cleaner bags, plastic e-commerce mailers, bubble wrap, ziplocs & other reclosable bags, and cereal box liners. Items should be clean and dry. Please bag like-items together – ziplocs with ziplocs, etc.
