We’re focused & purposeful at Hope Church because we don’t want to lose sight of where we believe God is taking us. We’ve written down our core values in an effort to keep us moving forward. These things speak to our culture. It’s these things that drive us to pursue God and community each Sunday and in our every-day lives. We desire to honor Jesus Christ, we are committed to the authority of the Scriptures, and we are dependent upon the enabling power of the Holy Spirit.
