Get to Know Us ..................................................................................................................................
Hello, I’m Pastor Dave Gish,
Thank you for visiting our web site. If you’re looking for a church home, we invite you to come see what God is at Hope Church. We are a Bible teaching, Christian church with a diverse congregation from a variety of church backgrounds and nationalities. Each week, several hundred people gather from surrounding communities with a common desire to live out God’s mission in our lives -- within the context of modern day Fairfield County.
As part of this mission, we connect to God and His family through heartfelt worship, practical Biblical teaching, and loving fellowship.
We are committed to grow into the image of Christ by continuous transformation into His character and lifestyle. This happens best through encouraging relationships, application challenges and Bible study. We meet in small groups, men’s and women’s studies, marriage enrichment classes and a variety of other options throughout the year. There are growth and learning opportunities for you, wherever you may be in your journey of faith.
Alongside connecting and growing, we serve God by equipping people for meaningful ministry service within and outside the church. We want to equip everyone to make a difference in the world for God by utilizing and developing all the gifts and resources He has given them. You could find yourself playing bass in our worship band, mentoring a teenager, teaching a class of 2nd graders, caring for orphans in Ethiopia, praying for the needs of others, or leading a small group Bible study. Everyone has something to offer.
The fourth part of our mission is we aspire to lead others to follow Jesus, so all can come to know Him as their Savior and Redeemer. We do this through church outreach efforts and regional ministry partnerships with Young Life, rescue missions, and church plants. We’re also involved in over 40 global mission partnerships bringing the love of Christ and the Good News of the Gospel to every part of the world.
God is alive and at work at Hope Church. I hope you will join us on this great adventure with Him.
