What We Believe
Hope Chapel is a Foursquare Church. The Foursquare Gospel is by no means a new or modern gospel. It is the same gospel proclaimed in the early church. Foursquare is simply a name applied to help describe the four most important aspects of the gospel taught in the New Testament.
In addition to the four major tenets of faith, the Foursquare Church is Trinitarian. Trinitarian means that we believe in God the Father, Jesus Christ His one and only Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Foursquare Church proclaims the Bible as true, immutable, steadfast and unchangeable. Foursquare churches practice Water Baptism by immersion, and Communion is observed regularly.
Hope Chapel believes that Sexuality is created by God and is good. We are created and embodied as male and female. In community we reflect image and accomplish His purpose in the world (Genesis 1:26 28). We are created for committed intimate community, free from shame (Genesis 2:24 25).
Since Jesus and His Word have never changed, His instruction to His church today remains the same. The church has been called and enabled to minister in His Name to bring wholeness through salvation, power to be witnesses through the infilling of the Holy Spirit, healing and wholeness, and hope for the promise of Jesus’ return.

JESUS CHRIST, THE SAVIOR
Jesus Christ is the only hope of humanity. Jesus loved us and died to save us from the penalty of our sin and rebellion. The salvation He brings begins with a person’s decision to put faith in Him. That decision opens a lifetime of being healed, restored, delivered from oppression, and set free to stand in spiritual, emotional, and physical wholeness (Luke 4:18)
JESUS CHRIST, THE BAPTIZER WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
Some of Jesus’ last words to His disciple’s concerned empowerment. He charged them to carry on the good works He modeled for them. He promised that He would send the Holy Spirit to give them the power to spread the good news about Him. On the Day of Pentecost, in Acts 2, the disciples experienced the presence and power of God as they became witnesses of Jesus Christ.
JESUS CHRIST, THE HEALER
Jesus went about “doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him” (Acts 10:38). Jesus draws us to Himself in love and then touches us with healing power. He perpetuates that healing power by promising that signs and wonders would follow His followers as they went out to minister (Mark 16:17-18)
JESUS CHRIST, THE SOON-COMING KING
Jesus ascended into Heaven, the angels declared that He would return to take His church to live with Him forever (Acts1:10-11). This is the great hope of those who believe in Jesus as their Savior.
