What we believe

The truth of the Bible.

New Hope is a biblical, non-denominational church. What follows is our Covenant, the Statement of Faith adopted in our By-Laws and held in common by this whole family.

Who we are

New Hope is a biblical church. We're independent. We don't belong to any denomination because we believe just the truth of the Bible.

Our Covenant

Ten articles we stand on.

Adopted in our By-Laws and amended October 2017. These are the doctrines we teach, sing, and build our life around.

Article 01

Authority of the Bible

The 66 books of the Old and New Testaments are the verbally inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the authoritative, complete, and final written revelation of God.

Article 02

The Trinity of God

One God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, co-equal in essential nature, attributes, and perfection.

Article 03

The Person of Jesus Christ

Begotten in the flesh by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, without sin, true God and true Man, the only mediator between God and man.

Article 04

The Work of Jesus Christ

His death paid for all sin and satisfied the righteous wrath of God. He rose bodily, was seen over forty days, ascended to Heaven as our Advocate and Intercessor, and will return to establish His Kingdom.

Article 05

The Ministry of the Holy Spirit

Convicts of sin, causes spiritual birth, baptizes all believers into the Body of Christ, indwells, seals, sanctifies, guides, teaches, and fills believers.

Article 06

The Creation and Fall of Man

God created the universe and created man in His own image. Man sinned through personal disobedience, so all mankind is sinful in nature and practice, unable to save itself, and faces eternal separation from God.

Article 07

The Salvation of Man

Salvation is eternal, the free gift of God's grace, received by any individual through personal faith and belief in Jesus Christ, not by sacrament, merit, or good work.

Article 08

The Destiny of Man

All believers will be resurrected to spend eternity in a new heaven and a new earth. All non-believers will be resurrected to judgment and everlasting separation from God.

Article 09

The Church

The Church of Jesus Christ consists of all those who truly believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Article 10

Angels and Satan

All angels were created by God. Some, including Satan, chose to rebel and will spend eternity in hell. Satan is a real personality, actively rebelling against God.

Our mission

"To compellingly communicate to everyone whom God provides us the opportunity to serve, the all-absolute sufficiency of Jesus Christ who meets our every need."
