New Hope Baptist Church

First off I will say that I heard a teacher on Moody once say that we really should not write reviews about the church like it’s a restaurant (if we are a member of the body of Christ). Do we go around writing reviews when we go visit our family members homes?

However, based on some reviews here I would like to write about what I’ve experienced during my little over a month of fellowship at New Hope to hopefully encourage anyone thinking about visiting.

1. This is a Holy Spirit led bible believing church. What you see is what you get. No smoke and mirrors or shows to make you feel good for the moment. The Word of God is enough and has all the power here. Personally, I can see the Pastor loves God and His people and wants to see us all (including himself, a very humble man) grow up in Christ.

2. Brotherly love and building each other up. Praying for one another. Reasoning and learning the scriptures together. No egos. The small groups are edifying. This is what I see here.

3. I am an African American women who has felt nothing but the love of God since stepping foot in the door of the church. And I only feel the need to mention this based on some other reviews. Everyone and I mean everyone has been very welcoming. I am sorry for anyone else who may not have experienced this. I will say though that it was different from a physical perspective coming into the church on day one because I didn’t see any other people of color. That was just different to me coming from an area where there was so much diversity in the community church. If I didn’t know the love of God and sense it at New Hope I could have possibly stopped right there and never come back. I’m glad that was not the case.

4. Opportunities to serve. From what I see, there are plenty of opportunities to step up and offer your gifts to help build up the church.

5. Based on the above, I would recommend anyone looking for a local church home to visit and see for yourself :).

Solid Bible teaching, amazing family as a church that I’ve been apart of since I was 6 years old. If you’re looking for a family to be accepted, loved and met where you are come join New Hope.

Our Pastor is amazing, as well as our music and youth directors! We would love to have you!!

New Hope is a truth seeking, bible teaching church. We were drawn to the church by the sermons of Pastor Elmer. Joined a Sunday school class and was hooked by the teaching of the leader and the open discussions of the class, trying to learn truth of the scripture. Awesome church
