New Hope offers you a rare kind of welcome. One that isn’t contingent on certainty, conformity, or past church experience.

People come as they are — curious, skeptical, healing, hopeful — and are met with recognition, warmth, and consistency.

Why are you merging?

This merger is rooted in hope and possibility. Both churches share a commitment to following Christ, serving our neighbors, and welcoming people as they are. 

By coming together as New Hope Church, we choose to grow — spiritually, relationally, and in our impact — so we can more fully live out Christ’s call to love, justice, and community in Oak Lawn and Chicago’s southwest suburbs.
