What Defines Us
Serving Locally and Reaching Globally
Our Vision
Serving locally, reaching globally with the gospel in words and actions
A Pentecostal church, Hope International Ministries (HIM) was born out of a vision to see people from different countries and races link arms and blend languages and cultures in the worship and service of Christ.
The burden of the leadership of HIM is that all peoples, irrespective of their racial, cultural, social or ethnic background, will find a place where they truly belong as children of God. Hope provides a home away from home for people of different nations resident in the US and all who need a warm, caring and loving fellowship at which to worship and serve the Lord. We are a family of faith that welcomes and celebrates the richness of gender, cultural, and ethnic diversity, glorifying God through them in worship and ministry.
Our worship menu provides a flavorful variety of musical styles served up in different languages. In an enhancing atmosphere of love and belonging, Christian character and spiritual gifts are developed, and members discover and pursue God’s purpose for their lives.

Our Community
All Nations, All People
We strive to be a reflection of heaven – Many people, many languages from around the world.
In the words of Pastor Maureen Grizzle, “Heaven is going to be just like this”. A variety of people, languages, cultures, ethnicities and races that reflect the glory of God in their own way. This is the flavor of Hope.
From our international praise and worship from all around the world in our services, to the food from many cultures served during our church events, to the many nations represented in our congregation, Hope is truly international.
Though international, Hope is a community of believers, a large family united in the spirit of unity in the love of Christ. That love is what makes the mix of cultures so appealing. Come join us and “taste and see that the Lord is – good” (Psalm 34:8).
