So often, it is not a church building where a person will first see the love of Christ. It is in the conversations and actions of a Christian who desires to go out and be the church.  Two years ago, New Hope decided not to be content with the community coming to our building.  We are a community of Christians who desire to be the Church everywhere we go, not just when we’re assembled on a Sunday morning.

Every May, New Hope does something called “LoveMyCity.”  It is a time where we scour the community to see where we can be the Church outside of New Hope’s walls. It is our desire that every family in New Hope finds a place to be a part of this weekend.  If you haven’t found a place to help, check out what is going on the next two weekends, and be the church to someone who may never otherwise step foot into New Hope Community Church.
