About
New Hope Chapel
Our desire
at New Hope Chapel is to offer and demonstrate a new hope
to those who have lost hope. We do this by displaying the
hope we have in Jesus Christ and his grace bestowed upon all
who receive him as their Savior and Lord.
We are
a church designed to follow our Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe
that Jesus Christ is the Word of God written for us to observe
in scripture, therefore our main emphasis is placed upon the
teaching of Gods Word.
We are
a church that is empowered by Gods Holy Spirit.
We teach,
receive and exhibit the grace of God, focusing on the points
in scripture where all Christians can agree, rather than those
positions that divide believers.
We believe
that worship is an important part of our service to God, and
that our attention in worship, must focus upon Jesus and therefore
have as few distractions as possible.
As a church,
our desire is to experience Gods love and then share
his love with others.
We place
a strong emphasis upon relationships, which we encourage to
develop in fellowship activities such as the breaking of bread,
which includes communion at every Sunday service and our Sunday
brunch after service. The breaking of bread also includes
our backyard barbecues, our holiday meals, our prayer dinners
and our coffee house. We also promote fellowship and relationships
by our working together within various ministries, inside
the church and outside of our four walls.
We believe
in the encouragement of ministries and the exploration of
gifts and callings within the body of Christ, thereby not
limiting the Holy Spirit to our own ideas.
We are
a church that is committed to God and committed to His people.
We are desirous of all the wisdom, power and love that God
might share with us, so that we might share what we have been
given with others, helping to enable all believers to become
all that they might be, in the body of Christ.
These
are some of the things that we believe as the church because
we continue to see these things succeed. I have personally
seen and experienced a new hope spring up in my life and the
lives of many of my friends, within the church. This new hope
has given us a new focus on life, a new goal in life and a
new joy for life, such as I have never seen before. Its rewards
continue to bring the fullest, freest, most satisfying life,
ever experienced.
We offer
this new life and new hope to you and to anyone who is not
yet satisfied with life. We offer ourselves as a living testimony
of the powerful change in our lives, so that you might see
and know the power of God available to all, through Jesus
Christ our Lord.
