Hope Community Church

About Us

Receiving Hope thru Christ-Growing Hope in Community-Sharing Hope with Others

This is an amazing church! We have about 130-150 gathering together on Sunday mornings for worship. We come from all over Berks County. Our varied denominational backgrounds bring vibrancy to our congregational community. We are part of Mennonite Church USA which is quite a bit different than the horse-and-buggy Mennonites and plain cloths people you see in Berks County. So don't expect us to speak German or know how to drive a buggy.

What to Expect

What are services like?
Our worship team leads us in about a half hour of contemporary worship with an occasional hymn. Sermons are relevant to daily living with a strong emphasis on application. A Prayer Team is available after each service to pray for any concern. After the service many people hang around just to talk and catch up. Small groups meet during the week in homes.

What is the community like?
If you are looking for a group of perfect people, you won't find them here. We are all broken people in the process of being remade in the image of Jesus Christ. Some are further along the path than others. We are a friendly group of people attempting to follow Jesus' teachings together.

What if I'm not a Christian?
Check us out. We are all on a journey of discovery.
