Worship with Us
Every Sunday at 10:30am
“We are the small church with the big heart. We pride ourselves in being a wonderful place for the entire family to worship.”
What we believe and affirm
Each Sunday at 10:30am, we gather to worship God with song, praise, prayers, and study of His timeless scripture in anticipation that we will encounter the God of the universe, understand the teachings of His one and only son Jesus more thoroughly, and be able to put those teachings into practice through the Holy Spirit’s sanctifying activity in our everyday lives.
We have been blessed beyond measure as we’ve watched the God of creation reach into our congregation and answer our prayers in ways we could never have hoped or imagined! Marriages have been restored, sickness has been healed, cancer has vanished before doctors’ very eyes, lives have been turned upside down and restored, and men have even been brought back to life here! We live dedicated to prayer and welcome you to join us as we petition heaven on each others’ behalf.
The lives of residents here on Isle of Hope and the surrounding neighborhoods mean so much to our congregation. We want families to thrive, and we know that a thriving life is a Christ-centered life; therefore we are wasting no time in connecting with our neighbors to identify their hopes, wants, desires, and needs, and in turn, we are sparing no expense or effort to meet as many of those needs as possible. We desire our neighbors to see Christ represented in how we speak, walk, live, interact, and ultimately complete this life cycle in ways that bring glory to God and hope to those far from him. We take active roles in partnering with community events by hosting events on our property, allowing usage of our space for community needs, and purposefully seeking out opportunities to bless this community in whatever way our neighbors need so that the love of Jesus will shine far and bright.
Our members span multiple generations and many socioeconomic backgrounds, and because of this, we strive to be “all things to all men so that we might win some.” Our mandate from scripture is to serve God with all our efforts, serve His people with reckless abandon, and bring glory to Him through those efforts. We create strategic opportunities to teach classes, greet guests, serve the less fortunate, and walk with those in desperate need of counsel so that we might serve to our total capacity as members of the body of Christ.
When our community members require support to overcome difficulties, we are there for them. As a body of Christ followers, we take His charge to give to those in need seriously, and we sacrifice on behalf of others so that they might know God better. Sometimes, our community offers unique opportunities to share our blessings and host events that benefit Isle of Hope and the surrounding area. We have been charged to create a community hub for believers and unbelievers alike, and we have accepted that responsibility by giving back to God what He has already given us. In this way, everyone involved, both the giver and receiver, can be blessed.

FAQs
We recommend using Google Maps and entering “Isle of Hope Baptist Church.” Whether coming from Abercorn St, Truman Parkway, or Montgomery Crossroad, you will eventually turn onto Skidaway Rd to enter Isle of Hope. Skidaway Rd turns slightly left and becomes Parkersburg Rd just past the Isle of Hope Elementary School. When you see our white church sign, turn right onto Rose Avenue. The church will be on your left. We have two dedicated parking lots for you to use. Just before you reach the sanctuary building, an unpaved lot is marked by a large oak tree in the middle. We also have a paved lot just past the sanctuary building.
Come as you are. Dress comfortably. Some of our members wear jackets and ties while others wear jeans and t-shirt.
