Presenting the hope of Christ into the 21st century
A healthy church with spiritually mature leadership. Using a body of carefully trained believers, we will use various creative ministries to bring persons to Christ as well as foster discipleship and fellowship that will sustain and reproduce mature Christians.
The NEW HOPE MISSION:
We go to the unchurched thousands of the Harrisburg area in the power of the Holy Spirit to administer the healing power of God in the name of Christ. Using small groups as an organizing principle, establishing groups for caring, spiritual growth and maturity, worship, prayer, and evangelism. Our worship services incorporate creative activities and music. Preaching is designed to address the issues and concerns of contemporary life from a clear Biblical foundation encouraging the application of God's Word.
New Hope Church intends to live up to its name by emphasizing the power of hope rooted in the Good News of Jesus Christ. At home and around the world we are committed to nurturing a personal relationship with God that is mature and capable of being reproduced.
