Our Story
The story of HOPE Community Church formally begins in 2013 as a church plant from Grace Community Church (GCC) in Souderton, PA as several families from GCC were formally called to help lay the foundation of the church.
Our Church
Our church can be summarized as Evangelical, Reformed and Charismatic. At the core of our doctrine is the gospel of Jesus Christ—the glorious truth that Jesus Christ died and was raised so that sinners would be reconciled to God. The spread of the glory of Jesus Christ is our primary passion and the driving influence in all our preaching, bible study, worship, outreach, and fellowship
Our Beliefs
The core beliefs of Allentown HOPE Community Church are based on the foundational presupposition of the centrality of Christ as the primary focus in all the Scriptures and that from it flows all the fountains of truth and doctrine for the benefit of the Church.

Our Vision
The vision of HOPE Community Church was inspired by the passage in Isaiah 56:7 -"these I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.” We desire to become an authentic expression of God's house of prayer.
Our Pastors
HOPE Community Church is led by two pastors, Emmanuel Suarez and Ron Jones who share the responsibility of preaching, teaching, leading and caring for the flock of God.
