About Us

At Hope Freeburg, we’re passionate about helping people find and follow Jesus. We believe hope is for everyone—no exceptions—and we live this out through grace-filled relationships, biblical truth, and joyful service.

Hope. Found. Here.

Our Vision

We envision being a multiplying community of disciples making disciples, sharing the hope of Jesus with everyone, everywhere.
 

Our Mission

Helping people find, follow, and share the hope of Jesus.

Hope. Found. Here.

These three words encapsulate our heart:

  • Hope: Jesus is the way to God—for everyone.

  • Found: We're a place to discover grace, connect deeply, and be sent out—because found people find people.

  • Here: Wherever you are as a follower of Jesus, that’s your mission field—personal, practical, every day.
     

Our Values

Hope Freeburg is rooted in biblical truth, passionate about expressing genuine love for God and people, and committed to becoming essential and impactful in Freeburg and beyond.

 

Core Values:

  • Biblical Truth:
    “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

  • Love for God and People:
    “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” (Matthew 22:37).
    “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you” (John 13:34).

 

Aspirational Values:

  • Prayer First: “Prayer is our first response, not our last resort.”

  • Generous Living: “We’re alive to help others thrive; we live to give.”

  • Active Outreach: “Being so vital to our community that our absence would be profoundly felt.”

  • Unity Together: “In Christ’s unity, we find our community.”

  • Joyful Serving: “Making ministry fun while getting it done.”


As a church we believe there are essential beliefs, which all Jesus followers should share.
Examples include:

 

1. God loves you and created you to know Him personally.

2. God is One entity existing in three equal and divine forms: The Father, The Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit.

3. Jesus exists as God the Father’s only begotten Son.

4. Jesus humbly descended from heaven to live among us as a man to bring the message of the Gospel to all the world.

5. Jesus died as a sacrifice to atone for the sins of those who place their trust and hope in Him.

6. The Holy Spirit indwells every Christian and guides them to greater love, obedience, and faithfulness.

7. Heaven and Hell are real. Heaven is a place where followers of Jesus will spend eternity. There is also a great chasm that separates heaven from hell and God determines the outcome of those who do not have a relationship with Jesus Christ.

8. Every Christ follower is a minister and empowered to do the work Jesus commanded us to do.

9. Followers should be active in worship, community and be on mission for Jesus.

10. The church is the only true hope for the world.
