PROJECT HOPE
what is Project Hope?
Our church family has grown rapidly as it has prayed, partnered, and participated with God at Hope Point. The heart of God is to reach more people with the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. To accommodate the current and future growth in the church, Project Hope raised over $1.25 Million to build, develop and renovate both campuses to connect our community to Christ.
As we look to the finish line of the project late this year, we want to hear what Project Hope has meant to you!

God Stories
God moves in big ways when we step out in faith to follow Him. He gives seed to the sower and enables us to do all that He has put into our hearts.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord. “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11 NIV
FAQ
We started with builder estimates for the work we plan at both campuses for just under $3 Million. Now we believe the total project will be above $4 Million.
We are executing the project in phases and are paying we go, thanks to the strong generosity and faithfulness of God and His people.
God enabled His people to raise and commit over $1 Million for Project Hope in 2019 and an additional 20% to cover the rising costs of construction during this post-COVID timeframe for a total of $1.265M.
Many, many of these commitments have already been fulfilled.
The banks we have spoken to are eager to make the entire amount available, but we expect to borrow $3 Million along with our donations.
We believe that God can do anything. If He chooses to move miraculously and provide the entire amount for Project Hope, we will receive it gladly! We have faith for that. However, we also know that God asks us to use wisdom so we set an original goal of $1 Million based on our church size and campaign timeline. God has enabled us to achieve and exceed this goal!
We never want to sacrifice “ministry for a mortgage”; we believe this goal will help us avoid adjusting ministry to pay a mortgage payment. Ideally, the closer we get to raising the entire amount, the better. However, we believe the payments on this size of loan, borrowed as we need it, will be moderate and well within our ability to repay without diminishing our ministry.
Yes! We will plan the project to enable us to have Sunday services every week.
The doors and parking lot facing Newbys Bridge Road are unavailable until the completion of the project, but we are creatively using the space while we are enlarging it.
We are excited to make room for others in the community that God is bringing!
Even though these past couple of years have held unprecedented change and uncertainty, this work has moved forward with God’s help… slowly but surely!
We anticipate being able to move into the new addition in the November-December timeframe.
