We believe God has called us to nurture a multi-congregation, multi-ethnic, multi-lingual church in North Port that will plant churches.

We exist to glorify God by loving people into a personal relationship with Jesus and by demonstrating the love of Christ across racial, cultural, economic and gender barriers (Gal. 3:28).

• Grow in love and devotion to Jesus
• Live in authentic biblical relationships
• Serve with their spiritual gifts; and
• Equip leaders that will start new ministries.

New Hope's service and ministry to its congregation and the City of North Port are guided and shaped by nine values:

• Celebrating God
  Worship and intimacy with God is first priority
• The Gospel Message
  Living under and obedient to God's Word
• Prayer and Intercession
  Engaging the forces of darkness in spiritual warfare
• Evangelistic Passion
  Commitment to reachign out to all people creatively and with power
• Biblical Community
  Intentionally developing authentic biblical relationships that tear down walls that separate us.
• Small Groups and Spiritual Gifts
  Equipping and cultivating spiritual gifts and releasing each member of the Body of Christ to serve in ministry
• Strengthening Families
  Nurturing healthy marriage and parenting skills to strengthen relationships between spouses and between parents and children
• Demonstrating Concern for the Poor and Needy
  
  Practical involvement in community development
• Church Planting
  The continual planting of new congregations is the essential call of Jesus
