At New Hope Baptist Church we place a heavy emphasis on our ministries because we believe that ministry defines the essence of who we are.  We exist not for ourselves, but as an extension of God; we are now the physical presence of Jesus Christ in the world.  We define ourselves by our tireless and faithful service to the needs of humanity.  Educating, Equipping, and Empowering are the three ministry imperatives that drive all of our activity. 

This showcase of our ministries (listed on the right) captures our philosophy of church membership.  It is our prayer that every member of New Hope be a working member.  Through our broad spectrum of ministries, we offer numerous opportunities for individuals to employ their gifts and enhance our ministering community.  Please take time to familiarize yourself with what makes us who we are.  We pray the information will inform, enlighten, and inspire you to find your niche and strengthen our efforts to build God's kingdom.  If you are interesting in joining any of the ministries listed, please contact the church office at (616) 452-4278 or click here.

Yours in Christ,

Rev. Howard Earle, Jr.,

Senior Pastor
