About

Going deeper with Jesus,

wider in the kingdom,
and closer in community.

Our Story

Hope Church was founded in 1954 in the heart of Richfield, Minnesota—and the size and diversity of city and church alike have grown rapidly since then. At Hope, the intersection of people is not just our reality but our mission: to create a crossover community gathered around Jesus’ love. And each of us has a key part to play in building this crossover community.

Our preferred future

People of every age at Hope Church, the ones already here and the ones on the way, going deeper with Jesus, wider in the Kingdom, and closer in community.

Our Pursuits

How we pursue a crossover community:

Discipleship.
Because God created us to know Him.

Presence.
Because love draws near.

Partnership.
Because we can do more for the Kingdom together.

Prayer.
Because the Spirit is our compass.

Imagination.
Because God is always doing a new thing.

Action.
Because Jesus said “go.”

Our Declarations

What we value as a crossover community of faith:

We won’t just share space.
We will cross over + share life.

We won’t just serve.
We will cross over + befriend.

We won’t just coexist.
We will cross over + co-create.

We won’t just say.
We will cross over + do.

We won’t just settle.
We will cross over + imagine.
