Living Hope is for all people of all cultures and every age group. Whether you’re someone who has never been to church before, or you are familiar with the Christian faith, everyone is welcome.

We seek to be God-centered, Bible-saturated, Good News giving, and compassion-motivated in our pursuit of Jesus.

You are sure to receive a warm greeting and a friendly smile as we try to apply the truth of Jesus and live like Him.
