About Us
New Hope Presbyterian Church was established as
a missions church in 1992 and particularized in 1994.
Our emphasis has been on the Gospel message as
the Best News we have ever heard, or ever will hear. Our
rallying cry has been to "preach the Gospel to
ourselves daily."
If we can keep the cross of Christ huge in our
eyes, we remember what God has done and is doing for
us by grace. Such
remembrances moves us to vibrant worship, prompts us
to give our lives in sacrificial service and fills us
with a burden for sharing the Best News.
We have a mixed congregation of people of all
ages that fairly represents the area’s demographics.
But all of us are still growing in our
knowledge of God and of His grace!
