A place where you can find hope, purpose, and restoration through Jesus Christ.
In this world today there is a tremendous need for an optimistic sense of hope, close supportive friendships, spiritual strength, and a life that has purpose. We are attempting to meet those needs through House Churches.
Hope Bible Church is a network of house churches that meet weekly for worship through an interactive sermon, music, a time of sharing about what we have been learning through our individual time spent in the Bible, and a time of prayer. The vast majority of ministry and caring takes place in the House Church.
Meeting in homes for ministry is nothing new — it is what the early church did. Acts 2:46 says, "Every day they continued to meet in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts." The early church soared for roughly 300 years using this model.
"And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others." — 2 Timothy 2:2
Our pastor, Dr. Gary Morris, studies God's Word in depth and puts together interactive Bible studies that he does with his House Church and gives to other House Church Leaders. This follows Ephesians 4:12, which tells us that the Pastor is to equip God's people to minister to others.
The first Christians met in homes, not buildings. This relationship-based model leveraged the power of personal connection for both caring and outreach.
Jesus' strategy to reach the world is found in Matthew 28:19-20 and 2 Timothy 2:2. If you disciple one person per year, and they do the same, the multiplication is staggering:
More than the current world population — through simple one-on-one discipleship.
We meet weekly via Zoom for interactive worship, Bible study, sharing, and prayer. Find a house church near you — or join online from anywhere.
Not a passive broadcast. Ask questions, discuss, and engage with God's Word together.
Small groups where everyone is known, cared for, and prayed for by name.
Join from your living room — across the USA, or from our house church in China.
Follow our structured reading plan and share what you've learned each week.

Billy Graham said: "If every believer followed the pattern of 2 Timothy 2:2, the church could reach the world with the Gospel in one generation."

We believe the 66 books of the Old and New Testament are the verbally inspired Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16). God has supernaturally preserved His revelation as the infallible Word of God.
We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — each eternal in being, identical in nature, equal in power and glory.
Perfect in holiness, boundless in love, infinite in wisdom and measureless in power. He is Father to those who become children of God through faith in Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ, God the Son, eternally existed with the Father. Born of the Virgin Mary, sinless in nature, making full payment for the sins of the world by His substitutionary death on the cross. Bodily resurrected, ascended to Heaven, and returning to earth.
