Who We Are
We want to be the place for people to come and find hope in the peace and presence of God in a church community known for their love for God and love for people. Since we opened our doors in 1949, we have become known as “the church with the big heart”. Our heart is to see the Isle of Hope and surrounding communities come to know God, get established in a church family, and grow in their walk with Jesus.
We’re a church family with a big heart to help people find hope through coming together in the presence of God.
