Honoring our Past by Building the Future
Join us in creating a modern, safe space for the next generation at New Hope Church.
The future of our ministry walks through our doors every Sunday. For 75 years, New Hope Church has been committed to investing in the next generation—it’s how we began. Now, we must ensure they have a secure and inspiring place to meet Jesus.
Why Build New Hope?
Kids are in the DNA of New Hope Church! We were founded 75 years ago specifically as a children’s Sunday school for the City of Crystal. Our commitment to the next generation is our historical heritage. This campaign allows us to transform our current facility to honor that past.
This campaign will raise $3 million to create a modern, safe Kids Center, Family Center and address essential building upgrades—replacing the elevator and Worship Center roof.
UPCOMING VOTE: FINANCING THE MISSION
After much prayer and deliberation, the Elder Leadership Team has unanimously recommended a short-term construction loan to the congregation for approval. Voting takes place at our Annual Meeting on Sunday, May 17, 2026.
This strategic step allows us to complete the Build New Hope project within just six months, significantly minimizing disruption to our ministry. Structured as a standard construction line of credit rather than a long-term mortgage, this loan reflects the very favorable terms earned through our longstanding relationship with CIF and our history of faithful financial stewardship.
We are committed to borrowing only what is necessary—not to exceed $1.9 million—with a clear plan to pay off the balance within five years as campaign gifts arrive. This approach ensures we remain good stewards of our resources while moving forward confidently in what God has called us to do.
About the Campaign
The Build New Hope campaign is a three-year capital campaign dedicated to raising $3 million (with a dream goal of $4 million) for essential campus improvements and revitalization projects here at New Hope Church.
Your Role in Building New Hope
“Generosity changes us as much as it changes our community.”
- Prayer
- Financial Partnership
- Serving with your time and talents
Generosity is central to who we are! The Build New Hope campaign is an opportunity for us to practice radical generosity together, not just in our regular giving but in building for the future.
Your participation in the life of New Hope Church is what matters most. Generosity is expressed in many ways—through your time, your service and your prayers. If you choose to give, we encourage you to pray about a gift that is sacrificial for you, no matter the amount.
The Build New Hope campaign is a special, above-and-beyond gift designated for capital improvements. Your regular tithes and offerings are essential for funding our daily operations. We ask that you continue your faithful, consistent giving in addition to your campaign intent.
Your Next Step
Participation is entirely voluntary and should be a decision made through prayer and personal reflection. Participation involves prayer for the campaign’s success and making a financial intent over the three-year period.
