At New Hope Baptist Church we believe in the importance of the family. First and foremost we want to make sure you are part of God’s family, that you are one of His children. John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name."
The Bible is full of family terms. Israel is called the wife of God, the Church is called the Bride of Christ. God is our Heavenly Father and Jesus is His only begotten Son. The first organism God established was the family when He created Adam and then Eve. Then they soon had children. The husband and wife relationship is a picture of our relationship with Jesus Christ. He is the Husband (Bridegroom), we are His Wife (bride). Ephesians 5:25 says, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;"
We believe the Church will only be as strong as its families. As the family unit goes, so goes the Church. This is why Satan is attacking the family unit so vehemently. This is why we see the divorce rate so high not only in the secular world, but also in the Church. At New Hope we want to help people build strong families by teaching men how to be good husbands and fathers, women how to be good wives and mothers, and children to respect both mom and dad.
Even though we know we will not win every battle in our church for the family, we are still passionate about doing what we can to equip people to help break the cycle of divorce and wayward children. We will give people the tools, but it is up to them to use them. So no matter your marital status, single, married, divorced, or widowed, we invite you to become part of the Family of God at New Hope Baptist Church.
A place where family matters
- Pastor Dennis

The following are only a few of our core beliefs and NOT and exhaustive list ...

We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each coeternal in being, co identical in nature, coequal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians 13:14; John 14:10, 26)

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God, having been begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men. (Isaiah 7:14; 9:6; Luke 1:35; John 1:1-2, 14; II Corinthians 5:19-21; Galatians 4:4-5; Philippians 2:5-8)
 
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice; and that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead.
(Acts 2:18-36; Romans 3:24-25; I Peter 2:24; Ephesians 1:7; I Peter 1:3-5)
 
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of God where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministries of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate.
(Acts 1:9-10; Hebrews 9:24; 7:25; Romans 8:34; I John 2:1-2)

We believe that the Holy Spirit is a Person Who convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; and that He is the Supernatural Agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, indwelling and sealing them unto the day of redemption.
(John 16:8-11; Romans 8:9; I Corinthians 12:12-14; II Corinthians 3:6; Ephesians 1:13-14)
 
We believe that He is the Divine Teacher Who assists believers to understand and appropriate the Scriptures and that it is the privilege and duty of all the saved to be filled with the Spirit.
(Ephesians 1:17-18; 5:18; I John 2:20, 27)
 
We believe that God is sovereign in the bestowal of spiritual gifts to every believer. God uniquely uses evangelists, pastors, and teachers to equip believers in the assembly in order that they can do the work of the ministry.
(Romans 12:3-8; I Corinthians 12:4-11, 28; Ephesians 4:7-12)
 
We believe that the sign gifts of the Holy Spirit, such as speaking in tongues and the gift of healing, were temporary. We believe that speaking in tongues was never the common or necessary sign of the baptism or filling of the Holy Spirit and that ultimate deliverance of the body from sickness or death awaits the consummation of our salvation in the resurrection, though God frequently chooses to answer the prayers of believers for physical healing.
(I Corinthians 1:22; 13:8; 14:21-22)

We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam’s sin the human race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God; and, that all men are sinners by birth and by choice, and, of themselves, utterly unable to remedy their lost condition.
(Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:22-23; 5:12; 6:23; Ephesians 2:1-3; 4:17-19)

We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, Whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins and that in order to be saved, sinners must be born again; that the new birth is a new creation in Christ Jesus; that it is instantaneous and not a process.
(John 1:12; Ephesians 1:7; 2:8-10; I Peter 1:18-19)

We believe that the church is a group of Born-Again, baptized believers that have voluntarily joined themselves together to carry out the Great Commission.
(I Corinthians 12:12-14; II Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 1:22-23; 5:25-27, Matthew 28:19-20)
 
We believe that the establishment and continuance of local churches is clearly taught and defined in the New Testament Scriptures.
(Acts 14:27; 20:17, 28-32; I Timothy 3:1-13; Titus 1:5-11)
 
We believe in the autonomy of the local church, free of any external authority or control.
(Acts 13:1-4; 15:19-31; 20:28; Romans 16:1, 4; I Corinthians 3:9, 16; 5:4-7, 13; I Peter 5:1-4)
 
We recognize water baptism and the Lord’s Supper as the Scriptural ordinances of obedience for the church in this age.
(Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:41-42; 18:18; I Corinthians 11:23-26)

We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God’s power and are thus secure in Christ forever.
(John 6:37-40; 10:27-30; Romans 8:1, 38-39; I Corinthians 1:4-8; I Peter 1:4-5)
 
We believe that it is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of their salvation through the testimony of God’s Word which, however, clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an occasion to the flesh.
(Romans 13:13-14; Galatians 5:13; Titus 2:11-15)

We believe in that "blessed hope," the personal, imminent return of Christ Who will rapture His Church prior to the seven-year tribulation period. At the end of the Tribulation, Christ will personally and visibly return with His saints to establish His earthly Messianic Kingdom which was promised to the nation of Israel.
(Psalm 89:3-4; Daniel 2:31-45; Zechariah 14:4-11; I Thessalonians 1:10; 4:13-18; Titus 2:13; Revelation 3:10; 19:11-16; 20:1-6)
