New Hope Community Church

I was raised Catholic and eventually found myself adrift in just this incredibly huge patch of Rumspringa. Brought a brother to his knees. I picked up the Bible with fresh eyes, devoting 4 diligent years. I took it all in, measuring it up to the Catholic teaching of my youth that there was no salvation outside the Catholic church. Thats a pretty big brainwash right there. I remember thinking at 8 years old, Well, what are we doing in here [church building]." All that for a point: New Hope gets this right. The book of Acts is what I read the church is to look like, and the book of Acts is what is seen in New Hope1st civilian church I attended after Catholicism. All by accident-ish. The practical experience: We get out of the church. In the name and spirit of Jesus, we go out into the community, hand out food, pray for folks, organize events for youth, pick up trash in the neighborhood. We engage. Build relationships. Push back darkness. Advance the Kingdom of God. We have a men's home and just opened up a women's crisis pregnancy home. And were a small church. Its impressive to see Gods Word and hand at work. It awe. I got lucky. Were normal folks. Many of us struggled with drug and alcohol addictions. Incarcerations. Weve been liberated, and were grateful. I dont know if all of this will post, but I felt like running w/it a little bitmy breathy 2 cents.
