Wavy Abstract Background

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose HOPE is the Lord. 
For he shall be like a TREE planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.

- Jeremiah 17:7-8 -

Hope Tree Church is a Bible-based, Spirit-led church where people from all walks of life come together to receive and release hope in all areas of life. We are a Jesus-loving, Kingdom-focused, Spirit-filled, and Life-giving church bringing hope to our state and beyond!

HOPE

TREE

We find life in our Hope. So many without Jesus in their lives have no hope for the present or the future. But with Jesus, there is hope in this life and beyond. Hope that God will meet our  every need. Hope that our sins are washed away in the blood of Jesus. Hope that our families will find faith. And hope that Jesus will one day take all who believe on Him to Heaven.

The Tree symbolizes many things in our faith. First, we believe the tree that Jesus died on, the cross (our Hope Tree), represents freedom and hope. Second, we believe that the seed of faith planted in us will grow into the shape that God has purposed for us. Lastly, we believe that like a tree, digging our roots into the soil of God's Word will make our faith immovable.

CHURCH

The Bible identifies the Church as "the Body of Christ." He is the Head, and we are the body which functions and does the will of our Lord here on earth. Each of us have unique gifts and talents given to us by God for the purpose of building the Kingdom. It is our purpose as a church to help you discover ways to strengthen your faith, and then use that discovery to help others find their way to Jesus, God's Son.

HOPE FOR YOU

No matter who you are or where you're from, we believe there's hope for you! Hope is not an emotion, it's not wishful thinking, it's not simply a feeling - hope is a person and His name is Jesus. The purpose of our church is for you to find hope in Jesus for yourself. Everything we do is to help you find Him and create a life filled with hope through Him. 

HOPE FOR

STUDENTS

Because you have hope, you can change the world around you - your friends, your family, your school, and everyone you meet. You don't have to wait until tomorrow - you can change your world today. If you're in grades 6-12, Ignited Youth is a place where you can discover Jesus, find a tribe, and find hope.

HOPE FOR KIDS

We believe in and have a passion for training the next generation of Christians. No matter what age your kids is, we have an amazing experience for them where they will discover the truth of Jesus in a fun, safe, and exciting environment. Their hope of today is the hope of our future. We will point them to Jesus to help them find it.

HOPE FOR 

MARRIAGES

From the beginning, God has built the foundation of humanity on marriage. It's our desire that each marriage is strengthened through the building up of one another in our faith and purpose. Our intention is to create studies and events that help each couple become closer, more loving and stronger...for the glory of God!
