We are a family of Christians who desire to glorify God by loving Him with our heart,soul, mind and strength, and by loving our neighbors as ourselves. Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior -- the only Person who can save us from sin and death and give us genuine meaning and hope.The Holy Spirit is our teacher, comforter and strength. The Bible is God's authoritative Word, and therefore we are committed to faithfully and clearly teaching it, verse by verse, and applying it to our lives. Our vision is to equip and nurture the Christians so they can fulfill their God-given purposes, and to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost. We are a friendly church, comprised of people of all ages who come from many different backgrounds and nationalities. To learn more about our church, we encourage you to check out the rest of our website, or just give us a call. ____________________________________ Hope Bible Church  Audio Sermons New:  We are now beginning to put our sermons on SermonAudio.com!  It will take some time to get more of the past sermons there, and we plan to add transcripts too, so we do appreciate your patience.  We pray that you will be strengthened and encouraged by these audio teachings of God's precious Word!
