Mission Statement
The mission of New Hope Baptist Church is to fulfill the Great Commission, which Christ gives to the church in Matthew, chapter 28, verses 19 and 20.
We accomplish this by the spreading of the gospel and by doing the work of evangelism both corporately and individually.
Included in this is the equipping of the saints through teaching in Sunday School and various Bible Study classes.
New Hope is committed to the training and nurturing of our adults, young adults, youth and children, as well as providing other types of social and academic training.
New Hope contributes finances and other resources to foreign mission, home mission, and other mission causes.
New Hope receives new members, and has meaningful worship services, including the administering of the ordinances of Baptism.
Statement of Faith
New Hope Baptist Church acknowledges only one GOD who exists in three divine personalities.
They are GOD the Father, GOD the Son, and GOD the Holy Spirit.
New Hope Baptist Church teaches that Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD and Himself deity, became flesh.
His purpose for becoming a man, was to die for the sins of all men and women.
New Hope Baptist Church realizes that the salvation of mankind is totally dependent upon the sovereign grace of GOD and through faith in Jesus Christ.
It is available to all who believe. Works, with or without faith, has no saving value. However, good works will result from salvation.
One must trust Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and when an individual does this, he or she will become saved and given eternal life with Christ.
All those who have trusted the Lord Jesus as Savior are open to obtain membership in New Hope Baptist Church.
