When the Alliance church in Loudonville closed it doors there was confusion as to why the incredible faith of these people, their prayers, and belief that God was going to bring revival had not happened.
Then in 2002 when founding Pastor Charles Hill, together with a core team from Berean Baptist in Mansfield, in partnership with Converge MidAtlantic, bought and remodeled that space, they had no idea what God was about to do!
New Hope launched on September 29, 2002 with approximately 240 people and had to go to multiple gatherings the following week! Since that incredible start, hundreds of people have placed their faith in Jesus, been transformed, and made public declarations of this through the act of baptism.
