NEW HOPE FREE METHODIST CHURCH'S ANNIVERSARY
Happy Birthday New Hope! This weekend we celebrate 25 years of a community loving Jesus and trying to reveal Him to the world. Our original mission was to present the life-changing hope of Jesus to the unchurched people in the city of Rochester; to teach unchurched people to grow in relationship with God in community with each other; to help each individual discover, develop and use his or her spiritual gifts for service through the church. We have always been committed to proclaiming faith in Jesus, doing good works, and engaging in future church planting efforts. Today we simply say we love God, we love each other and we serve the world. So much has changed, yet so much has stayed the same. Let us remember the love, strength and power of God in our past 25 years and use that as the foundation of God's mission for our church in the future.
