HOPE CHURCH is a church in Bedford, Virginia, where we are praying to “build a church for the beat-up, burned-out… those who have been hurt in life and hurt in the church”...
HOPE CHURCH exists to honor God by developing followers of Jesus Christ, through worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry and missions.
The PERFECT Church for IMPERFECT People
PEOPLE MATTER TO GOD, SO YOU MATTER TO US.
You matter. We believe that with all our hearts.
That’s why every decision is filtered through that lens at HOPE CHURCH. It’s our vision for a better future for us and for you.
The people at HOPE CHURCH live out this vision by Loving God with all their heart, Connecting with others, Growing in their faith, and Serving the world around them. Here’s why these principles are so valuable to us at HOPE CHURCH...
LOVE
LOVE GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART (MARK 12:29-31)
Regardless of where you are in your walk of faith, HOPE CHURCH is a safe environment for all people to express their love to God. People are welcomed as they are, even if you're still exploring faith in Jesus. We want you to simply come and experience how much you matter to God and to us.
CONNECT
CONNECT WITH OTHERS (ACTS 2:42)
The love of Christ is extended through relationship. No matter what you’re in or coming out of, there’s someone here that can relate. The environments here allow you to build friendships and connect with others that is authentic and encouraging.
GROW
GROW IN YOUR FAITH (EPHESIANS 1:17)
Some grow best through community and discussion while others grow through study and reflection. Both are ways that God has uniquely created people to grow. Whatever your preference, there’s room at the table for the way you’re wired. Find your people and get started.
SERVE
SERVE THE WORLD AROUND YOU (ROMANS 7:4)
It’s natural to want to give back to the world around you and try to make it a better place. The motivation behind kindness is just as important as the act itself. God has gifted you to serve within the church, the community and the world somewhere and in some way that only you can. People matter to God!
Our Distinctive's
We already have a King.
His name is Jesus. Not a pastor or a worship leader. HOPE CHURCH is daily challenged to worship Christ and make His name known over any other.
We love people over programs.
We want to meet people where they are. We have some programs in place, but they are always open to change because we value what our people need as we continue on this journey.
We practice collaboration not competition.
We aren’t in this to win a race. We are better together than on our own!
We refuse to play it safe.
We want to be open when we feel God moving, even if it is big and bold! We have seen God transform our community because we have said YES to crazy or big ideas!
We are mobilizing an army, not building an audience.
We are all wired in a different way & we want to help you discover what your part is so that you can play the game.
We submit all of life to Jesus.
We believe Jesus is KING over all areas - that can be where we work, where we live, or where we play. We want Jesus to guide us in every area of our lives.
