The Story…
Since 2004, Hope Church Movement has been reaching college students with the Gospel. We've gone from one church reaching one college campus, to a collegiate-focused church planting movement in five cities reaching 24 college campuses. Since we started, we’ve engaged 466,961 people, led 67,198 Bible Studies and we've prayed with 4,105 people to surrender their lives to Jesus.
For 21 years, we’ve been a portable church - setting up each week, tearing down and renting space throughout Tempe to reach students. Now, God has opened a once-in-a-generation opportunity: an 800-seat, move-in-ready facility in Scottsdale that will become our first permanent church home and the headquarters for our movement as we continue to expand.
As we go from being portable to permanent, we're encouraged as we look at the projections for the future. We believe over the next 15 years at this new permanent location, we'll see 42,000 students surrender their lives to Jesus, over 1,000 campus missionaries sent out, and 100 new church sites planted all over the country.
