ABOUT US

Hope Community Church exists to share with others the life changing hope that comes through faith in Jesus Christ, while building one another up in that hope and joyfully celebrating our hope in Jesus Christ each week in worship.

Hope Community Church began in 1992 with a home Bible study and a vision of reaching out to the greater West Salem community with the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. We were incorporated as an Evangelical Free Church in 1994.
