Hope Church is a new church being planted in Southwest Jacksonville, NC. We are being lovingly sent out by Brookwood Baptist Church with a desire to bring the hope of Jesus Christ to our neighbors, our city, and the nations.
Our story is just beginning — but our foundation is firm. We believe God is building a church that reaches the broken and isolated with the hope found only in Jesus and helps every person discover the life He offers.

Our Heart for Jacksonville
Jacksonville is home to a growing and diverse community — from military families to long-time locals — all in need of the same hope that changes everything - Jesus.
We want to be a church that serves, loves, and points people to Him in every part of our city.
