Welcome to Community of Hope – a church for the western communities!

For over twelve years Community of Hope has been in ministry reaching the people in the Royal Palm, Wellington, Loxahatchee, and Acreage area of Palm Beach County, one heart at a time. What started in our living room in the fall of 1996 has blossomed into a church of hundreds of people, all coming together to fulfill the purpose God has given to our church. We believe we exist to “interest disinterested people in Jesus Christ, and grow them into fully devoted followers of Him.” This mission statement has served as a rudder, carefully guiding our growing church for almost a decade, continuing to provide direction to this very day.

As a guest, we want you to know that our church is uniquely focused on the two ends of our mission. We’ve intentionally designed a church with the “unchurched” in mind. From your first visit, you’ll find a place warmly receptive to people with no church background. A place of both casual dress, and relaxed atmosphere, Community of Hope is a place filled with genuinely loving people. The musical style is something you’d be familiar with, and the messages are built around a desire to help you understand and connect God’s truth to your life.

But that’s not all, our church is committed to helping people grow into fully devoted followers of Christ. Through our developing small group ministry and intentional discipleship approach, we have found that both people investigating the truth of Christianity, as well as mature believers are finding a home at Community of Hope.

Before I close, let me extend a warm invitation for you to attend an upcoming “Discovery Dinner.” This recurring dinner is geared to helping people who are new to Community of Hope meet some of the staff, learn more about the church, and have any of their questions answered… all in a relaxed atmosphere with great food!

At Community of Hope, we’re working to be a kind of church first described in the New Testament; a place of relevant teaching, rich and meaningful friendships, and compassionate ministry to the community and the world. This is our dream, and we invite you to dream it with us. If you are new to Community of Hope, click here for special instructions.
