Here at New Hope we do not follow the traditional norms of church membership. Instead, we believe that those who choose to participate in the life of our congregation will want to see themselves as actual partners in this ministry. Due to the heartfelt affection partners have for our church they are more than willing to share in the efforts and responsibilities of fulfilling our mission.

We fully anticipate that those who see themselves as our partners will have accepted Christ as their Savior and Lord, recognize our Operational Guidelines as that which is respected and held in common by our church and that they will assume their part in this mission by being faithful to attend the services, being actively involved in the ministry of the church and sharing in the financial support of the work. Should an occasion arise when it is necessary to determine if an individual is living up to the understanding of partnership as defined in this paragraph, the determination will rest with our Leadership Team.
