our identity

An identity is who or what someone or something is known by.

The following statements are not only the markers of WHO WE ARE, but how we want to be KNOWN by others in our city.


Hope City will not settle for simply knowing ABOUT GOD...

but KNOWING GOD, and pursuing intimacy with Him.


Hope City is a church of CIRCLES, rather than ROWS.

in helping their child become who it is God created them to be.


Hope City is a church of DOERS, not just CONSUMERS.

If it can't be done well, we won't do it.

not just church projects.

HERE, THERE, and EVERYWHERE.
