A Word from our Pastor

Welcome to Hope EFC.

Whether you have been part of a church for many years, are exploring the Christian faith for the first time, or simply looking for hope in a difficult season, you are welcome to join us.

At the heart of our church is a simple and joyful conviction: God is holy, loving and worthy of our worship. He created us for His glory, and our greatest good is found in knowing Him. The good news, this gospel, is the center of everything we do.

When we gather each week, we sing praises to God, pray together, and hear the Bible taught so that we might know Him more clearly and live for Him more faithfully. We want our lives, our worship, and our community to reflect the love, goodness and greatness of God while pointing one another to the grace found in Jesus.

Titus 2:11-14 says this: “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.”

While we are present on earth, we’re looking forward to this blessed hope, and while we await the coming again of our Lord Jesus, we live out our faith at home, in the workplace, at church, among the marginalized, and in the world, and we do this to bear witness of the transformation that God has wrought in our lives through His grace.

If you are searching for truth, longing for hope, or simply wondering what Christianity is about, we invite you to come and see. Our prayer is that as you join us, you will discover the joy of knowing this loving and gracious God, who hears the prayers of His people, who saves through Jesus Christ, and gives grace to all who would come to Him.

You are always welcome here.

Blessings,
Rowan
