I'm NEW
Expect to feel welcomed! Visiting a new church can be daunting, but when you come to Hope Baptist Church, you can relax. Greeters will welcome you and help you find classes, the nursery, and coffee! With a strong emphasis on the preaching of God's Word, our services are refreshingly traditional. After the service, stop by the welcome center for a free book and coffee.
Crown
Jesus
Following Jesus will exceed all your expectations! Our desire is for you to find God's love and forgiveness by accepting His Son, Jesus Christ, as your personal Saviour. Every ministry at Hope is centered around Him. "Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me." Follow Jesus with us!
Helping Hands
ENGAGE
We are better together! Hope Baptist Church provides many opportunities for personal growth from the newest believer to those with years of experience. Grow your faith by joining one of our Adult Bible Fellowships, attending a prayer meeting, or participating in our outreach program. There is something for everyone!

Pat's story

At Hope, I found exactly what I was looking for, Biblical truths and salvation!
I came to Hope Baptist Church about eight years ago not long after I lost my husband. I was sad, bewildered, kind of lost, a little confused, and unsure of my life. Sounds like I needed help! At Hope, I found exactly what I was looking for, Biblical truths and salvation! Oh, what peace that gives me. There is joy, laughter, love, and comfort in our church, and I’ve grown in wisdom. When we have peace, love, and forgiveness in our heart we can’t help but be joyful! Our Pastor is so approachable and happy. He makes coming to church something to look forward to. I am no longer sad, confused, or unsure of where I’m going or who’s in charge. It is such a comfort to be close to God.

What a joy and privilege it is to be the Pastor of Hope Baptist Church. You will find a diverse group of loving people that serve each other and Jesus Christ. Our goal is simple—"making a difference". Whatever you’re facing, wherever you come from, whatever decisions you are up against, God’s Word and God’s love through the person of Jesus Christ will make a difference. I hope to meet you soon!

Jude 22
It's not about religion,
it's about a relationship with Jesus Christ
Discover Jesus
Everyone wants a peaceful, purposeful life—but many are struggling to find it, and most are done with “religion.” At Hope Baptist Church, many have discovered a flourishing personal relationship with God through Jesus. We invite you on this same journey by visiting this Sunday. Don’t miss the joy of discovering the truthful message of Jesus.
