Restoring Hope

More than a remodeling project

This is Us!

We are The Hope, a church for people of all ages, from the young to the young at heart.

Our vision is to restore hope through the story of God here in our community. We are passionate about Christ’s mandate to “go and make disciples” here in Atwater and the surrounding area,.

Our mission is to love others, see them raised to life in Christ, and become His fully devoted disciples.

As a community following Jesus, we enable each other to follow Him by providing spaces for adults and children to grow in their knowledge of God's love for them. We accomplish this through our Sunday worship gatherings, Neighborhood Groups, Hope Kids and Hope Youth.

What does restoring hope look like? It looks a lot like taking what is old and infusing it with new life. Restoration and transformation are at the core of the gospel and it’s what God does in our lives. He invites us to step into the abundant life where true human flourishing occurs. As we flourish, new life spills over into other areas, like our marriage, our career, our relationships and even the spaces around us.

We strongly believe that now is the right time to move in a bold direction and begin the work of Restoring Hope in some of the most important spaces in our building to reflect the work that God is doing here. Restoring Hope is a 3 year remodeling initiative that will beautify and update our church.

Our Goal. Your Role

Over the course of the next three years, with your partnership we will raise $200,000 for the Restoring Hope project. In addition to remodeling spaces in the church building, we will pay down the Fruitland Christian Preschool mortgage. 80% of the funds raised will go towards the Restoring Hope initiative and the remaining 20% will be allocated to paying down the mortgage.

We need your financial support and are asking that you prayerfully consider how you can help us restore hope. Please take some time to consider how much you can give sacrificially towards this initiative. When you are ready, please fill out the commitment card by clicking on the button below.

Our Why

Over the past two years, we as a church have been on a journey of restoration and transformation. We are seeing our church grow, we are witnessing hearts radically transformed, and we are seeing people restored as they are raised to new life in Jesus.

This is more than a remodeling project. It’s an initiative to create warm and inviting spaces where people can gather and feel at home as they hear the story of God and their place in it.

We will convert the current youth room into a coffeeshop that extends into the lobby (narthex) by removing the current wall. The lobby will be remodeled with a more modern, yet warm look. The Coffeeshop/Lobby will become a warm and inviting environment that will foster community and engagement.

The worship center will be given a facelift by brightening up the walls, updating the stage, removing the pews and replacing them with chairs, and re-doing the flooring. This will create a modern and beautiful space, while staying true to the vintage architecture of the sanctuary. The remodel will create a beautiful and highly functional venue that will be used for various events.
