Because we value accountability and guidance, our denomination is The Church of God based out of Cleveland, Tennessee. Click here for our denomination’s history and statement of beliefs. We are also aligned with the Association of Related Churches (ARC).
Yes! We believe that all of the gifts of the Holy Spirit are available to believers today. The purpose of the gifts is to equip the Church to carry out its mission until Christ returns, as well as to be a foretaste of the life to come.
We love our guests!
When you first arrive on campus, you can expect our volunteers to greet you in the parking lot and/or the lobby. If you have any children, you may check them in at the kiosks to the left of the sanctuary. Our amazing children’s volunteers will be standing there to help and answer any questions! From there you can enter the sanctuary where a greeter will be standing by the doors to give you a sermon outline. Feel free to sit anywhere you choose.
We ask all of our volunteers to attend HopeU to make sure they have an understanding of our church and receive the training needed to serve. While some positions require membership and a background check, membership is not required for all volunteer positions.
We believe the Bible clearly defines gender, marriage, and the role of sex as between a man and a woman within the commitment of marriage (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6, and Ephesians 5:31-33). We hold the orthodox Christian belief that any sexual act outside of that marriage commitment (homosexual or heterosexual) is sin.
Jesus also taught that not everyone will marry and that life without a spouse or sex is possible if chosen for the kingdom of God. (Matthew 19:11-12)
As with every topic, issue, or belief, everyone is welcome to attend Hope City Church, whether they hold our same beliefs or not.
