"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal
life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the
world, but to save the world through him.” (John 3:16-17)
Following the call of Christ to "Love one another, as I have loved you"
(John 15:12), we welcome everyone regardless of race, gender identifi-
cation, sexual orientation, marital or divorce status or any other category
used by people and churches in a divisive way. There are no barriers for
all that seek Christ with a true heart. Whether you have been divorced
or remarried, are gay or lesbian or transgender you are welcomed here.
Likewise, our clergy can be male or female, gay or straight, celibate
or coupled. All baptized Christians are welcome at Holy Communion.
New Hope offers a special welcome for those who have been made to feel unwelcome or rejected by other
churches. We trust you will spend a few minutes here getting to know us. Better yet, we pray you will join us
for one of our services or activities and give us a chance to get to know you a little better.
New Hope First Community Church
is a faith community founded in 1996 on the firm belief
that the redeeming and loving message of the Gospel is for all of
God’s children without reservation or discrimination of any kind.
