Who We Are Hope is a non-denominational church.
We are not opposed to denominations, but only to their overemphasis on the doctrinal differences that have lead to the division of the body of Christ.
Hope is focused on people becoming and belonging through Loving God, Loving Others and Making Disciples.
OUR MISSION
OUR BELIEFS
About God
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
About Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return to earth to reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.
About The Holy Spirit
We believe the only way possible to live the Christian Life is by God's power within us. All believers receive the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of God) when they receive Jesus Christ as Lord of their lives at salvation. However, believers are encouraged to seek the baptism in the Holy Spirit and to seek a daily dependence on God's Spirit to enable us to do what is right, and to obey God's command to "be filled with the Spirit."
About The Bible
The Bible is God's Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any mixture of error.
About Salvation
Salvation is God's free gift to us, but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin's penalty. When we repent of sin, confess Jesus as Lord, and turn from our self-ruled life, we are saved.
About Divine Healing
Through the centuries since the time of the apostles, there have been individuals who had faith in God for the healing of their bodies, and where New Testament faith has been found, New Testament miracles have been demonstrated in the name of Jesus Christ. We believe Jesus paid the price for divine healing through the atonement...and with His stripes, we are healed.
About The Blessed Hope
The blessed hope of the church is the rapture or the "catching away" of the church. The Bible teaches that at the time of the rapture of the church, living Christians will be changed; those whom have died in Christ will be raised in glory; all Christians will forever be with the Lord; we should be comforted with this truth.
About Eternity
People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.
Hope is a Bible-believing, Gospel-centered, transformation-minded church, devoted to each other, and engaged in both our community and the world.
