Beginning with Determination

New Hope is moving -- during the last week of July, 2010 we are moving--please note that using the map supplied on this site will only direct you to finding us through July -- as of August 1, 2010 we will have moved and begun services at 2241 Kilpatrick Road -- Nokomis, Florida 34275.

All the basic information about New Hope remains unchanged--updates will begin appearing soon. Thanks for visiting our site--we look forward to greeting you.

Sunday worship begins at 10 am. Each week includes excellent opportunities for children and youth with skilled and vetted leaders. Please wander through the New Hope site and check out the opportunities.

Connections -- if you are searching for spiritual connection we have good news. Almighty God can be found, even by those who consider themselves "lost causes." There are solid resources for spiritual growth, connected spiritual growth, within the community that is New Hope.

We believe the search for spiritual connection can be difficult; but it is an honorable search. We are not a perfect congregation, but we promise to be available for people seeking God's leadership through Jesus Christ. To see how other people have found New Hope as "their place" please wander around this site.

We are not going to pester you, after you come on a Sunday morning. What do we sound like? One factor rather limits our site. Because of music licensing requirements we do not provide recorded music of Sunday worship times. If you would like hear the teaching content and style of a Sunday service that is rather easy to accomplish.

Please click on the Cyberears connection link. There is no charge for this service.

• If you have children (nursery age through elementary) please know that we are consistently working to provide meaningful Christian Education for them. "Main Street" is an interactive, visually stimulating, kid-friendly worship experience. All first time visitors should fill out an information sheet. Please come and pick up your children after the service concludes. Children will not be released to anyone except those designated on the information sheet. Because of our limited space we do not currently use the strategy of a separate children's Sunday School program and therefore this hour long program is our vital link in Christian Education.
•  Our regular programming includes a nursery  each Sunday and age appropriate classes for children including a  high school age group called "Students That Encourage People" (S.T.E.P).
