About

New Hope Community Church exists to help people find hope. We believe our church has been created to help teach people how to Love God, Love People and Serve the World. At NHCC you will hear relevant biblical teaching that will help you grow in your walk with the Lord. We’re a family at NHCC – we are one church with three locations in Gilroy, Aptos and our campus in Santa Cruz. We have several ways for YOU to get involved. Our heart is that you would feel welcomed and part of our church family.

Our Core Values

  1. Welcoming to ALL & enjoying life together.
  2. Passionate prayer & a lifestyle of worship.
  3. Pursuing biblical truth & spiritual growth.
  4. Global compassion & serving community.

Our Beliefs

  • WE BELIEVE…The Scriptures are Inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind.
  • WE BELIEVE…There is only One True God–revealed in three persons…Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).
  • WE BELIEVE…In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God’s son Jesus was both human and divine.
  • WE BELIEVE…though originally good, Man Willingly Fell to Sin–ushering in evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.
  • WE BELIEVE…Every Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God Through ‘Salvation’ (trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to be our personal Savior).
  • WE BELIEVE…All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit, according to the command of Jesus Christ.
  • We are an Assemblies of God Church and we adhere to the 16 Fundamental Truths of The Assemblies of God. These tenants of faith are based on the truths found in God’s Word, The Bible.
