3/31/24 Pastor Jordan powerfully presents an Easter sunrise sermon titled "Roll That Stone".
Taking place at Daniels Park, Pastor Jordan uses the scripture from Mark 16, 1-8, to talk about obstacles in our lives presented by stones. These stones are metaphorical and represent anything that hinders us from living freely in Christ. Just as the stone that blocked Jesus' tomb was rolled away, we too can move away from our stones to experience the freedom offered through Jesus.

Welcome!
At New Hope, we put people first and work together to make our life about something greater than ourselves and that reflects God's love.
Whether you are conservative or liberal; young, or old; gay or straight; single, or married; grew up in the the church or didn't; unsure what you believe in, or certain; all are welcome here. Our differences make us better together.
Although church meets on Sunday, we believe the best example of being the church is how we live our lives throughout the week. Each day matters and our service to one another shows what it means when Jesus said:
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." And, "Love your neighbor as yourself." (Matthew 22: 37-38)
If you're looking for a church home, we welcome you to New Hope.
The door is always open.
