How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!
Psalm 133:1
As God calls us into a season of change and renewed purpose, we are trusting Him to strengthen and unite us as a church family—as His Church.
When we are united as a people who love God, follow Jesus, and share hope, we become a powerful force to make known the love of Jesus and the life that He came to make available for us.

Watch for Updates + Ways to Connect
God is calling Hope Community Church into a season of change and renewed purpose, but our mission remains the same—to love God, follow Jesus, and share hope as one church, one family.
October 5 was our final gathering at our mobile campuses in Fuquay-Varina, Garner, and Northwest Cary. All 3 gatherings were incredible celebrations of all God has done in and through the church in those communities.
October 12 we will begin gathering together at our physical campuses in Apex and Raleigh.
Community Pastors will continue to shepherd their people and keep living on mission in each area. Community groups will continue, and new ways to experience belonging will take shape.
This is a season full of opportunities to serve, grow, and walk faithfully together—let’s step forward with expectant hearts, trusting God to strengthen and unite us.

FAQ
How can mobile campuses continue to grow and connect during this change?
Community groups and small groups will continue meeting in their neighborhoods. We will continue to partner with local schools and organizations to reach our communities. There will be quarterly community gatherings and local outreach events will remain a priority. Community pastors will still shepherd their areas.
How will this help our church steward resources more effectively?
Consolidating weekend gatherings allows us to maximize existing facilities and reduce costs. Savings will be reinvested into discipleship, outreach, and future growth opportunities.
Could there be opportunities to reopen or plant new campuses in the future?
Yes. This is a strategic recalibration, not a retreat. We remain open to God’s leading for opportunities to expand the mission He’s given us in these communities and others.
Why are we coming together sooner rather than later?
After months of prayer, research, and financial review, this timing ensures we remain mission-focused and financially wise. Unity now positions us for greater strength and future expansion.
What does this new chapter look like for Hope staff?
Community pastors remain in place to shepherd and equip local leaders. Other roles will change; some staff will take on new roles, some will transition off staff with care and severance.
