About Us
Hope Community Church is a mission church of the Presbyterian Church in America. We are located in northeast Alabama and are a part of the Evangel Presbytery. Our church planting work is being supervised by the Session of Faith Presbyterian Church in Anniston which is serving as our mother church. Our church planter, Steve Mayes, is on staff at Faith and serves as the Assistant Pastor for Church Planting with his primary responsibility being the planting of the church in Jacksonville.
Our church is located just south of the growing city of Jacksonville, Alabama. Jacksonville is a city of approximately 9,000 people. It is the home of Jacksonville Statue University which has an enrollment exceeding 9,000 students. One of our goals is to help with the beginning of a Reformed University Fellowship on the campus of JSU in the near future.
Our Mission Statement:
The purpose of Hope Community Church is to know Christ and make Him known for the glory of God.
Our Vision Statement:
The vision of Hope Community Church is to see a city and university transformed by the power of the Gospel through worship, discipleship, fellowship and missions.
Our Philosophy of Ministry
We are a church that is committed to the “ordinary means of grace.” This means that we will not resort to gimmicks or the latest fads to promote church growth. We are committed to the faithful teaching and preaching of the Word of God, to the observance of the sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and to prayer.
