Welcome to New Hope Presbyterian Church! If you are looking for a church home, or just passing through the area, we hope you will join us for worship on Sunday morning.
Recently New Hope Presbyterian church said goodbye to our full-time minister. This season of change offers our church a beautiful gift — the chance to hear God’s voice through many of His servants. As we welcome a variety of ministers over the next several months, we do so with expectation, believing that each one has been sent for a purpose.
