Who We Are
A church born out of community, and still built on it
From a Zoom screen to a church family
Hope Community Church started meeting in Glenview in August 2021. Hope originally began as Zoom Home Church, formed during the COVID-19 pandemic out of a desire to support and serve those who found themselves isolated from community and without a church home.
What started as a three-week Advent gathering quickly became a community working to continue what God is leading us toward. We hope to provide a welcoming environment to support each other and grow in our faith. All are invited to join us.
Hope Community Church is:
Bible Based
The Bible is the foundation for what we believe and how we live. Personal Bible study is a powerful catalyst for spiritual growth, and our weekend teaching and studies are rooted in Scripture.
Gospel Centered
We are transformed by Christ's grace and his atoning work on the cross on our behalf. This grace shapes how we serve people and build relationships, and it compels us to share the gospel with others.
Pursuing Transformation
The teachings of Jesus move us to action. We pursue personal transformation, and the transformation of our world, through worship, prayer, sabbath, fasting, and Bible study.
Building Loving Community
A healthy community is diverse (different ages, ethnicities, economics, and cultures) with leaders who are honest, transparent, and accountable, pursuing faith together and carrying each other's burdens.
Committed to Serving
We are not a church of watchers. Congregants and staff work hand-in-hand to discover our spiritual gifts and use them to serve our church and neighbors, with women and men serving equally in any ministry.
“I rejoiced with those who said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of the LORD.’”Psalm 122:1
