On February 1, 2003, we launched Hope Christian Center, a church sitting on the corner of New Lots and Pennsylvania Avenues in the East New York section of Brooklyn. Through our ministry, we’ve become intentional on moving beyond just our street corner directly to the heart and homes of the people we serve. 

Since 2003, we’ve led thousands into a continuing relationship with Jesus, touched more than 43,000 lives through our Hope evangelism efforts, assisted with creating affordable and senior care housing in the East Brooklyn area, fed over 10,000 people through our Hope Market initiative, launched our Spring Creek and Baldwin campuses, changed our name to Hope City Church and established virtual members across the U.S. 

And what have we learned over the last two decades? That the faithfulness of God can’t be contained. It is expansive. It meets us where we are and it serves as a catalyst to grow deeper with God; to be a living representation of the Great Commission in and around cities. 

Matthew 5:14: You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill can not be hidden.
