Ministry Team Leaders

At New Hope Church, we do not believe that only ordained ministers are the ministers! We believe that every Christian is called to be a minister of Christ.

The role of our Leadership Team and other ordained ministers is to follow Paul’s instruction:
“Christ gave some to be … pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ … Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth … Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.”  (Ephesians 4:11-16)

We at New Hope are extremely grateful to God for the quality Church Ministry Leaders that continue to emerge within our Body.  To join any one of the Ministry Teams below, please contact the Ministry Leader. As you use your spiritual gifts in service, not only is the whole body built up, but you also spiritually and personally grow! At New Hope, there is a place for you.
