Our Mission Statement
At Blessed Hope UMC, our mission is to “Live, Learn, and Love of God’s Transformative Grace.” Situated at the bustling corner of Oklahoma Avenue and Highway 100, we provide a welcoming, accessible, and hospitable United Methodist presence in a busy, diverse neighborhood. Through weekly worship services, sacred music, and a friendly, family-like atmosphere, we nurture spiritual growth and practice an inclusive, open-minded approach to Christian teaching.
We believe in hands-on mission—serving both our local community and the wider world—as well as offering pastoral care and counseling for those who need guidance or support. By sharing our prayers, presence, gifts, and service, we strive to help each person discover their unique calling and become who God calls them to be. Whether you’re seeking a place to worship, connect with a caring faith community, or explore God’s plan for your life, Blessed Hope UMC invites you to experience Christ-inspired grace and find a true sense of belonging.
THOUGHTS FROM SOME OF OUR MEMBERS
What Our Members Say
“I’ve been a member for over 20 years, and what keeps me here is the kindness of the people. When I was recovering from surgery, the church surrounded me with prayers, cards, and offers to help. This is a church that truly shows up for each other.”
“I’ve been part of this church since the late ’60s. It’s where I grew up, raised my family, and made lifelong friendships. We may be small, but the heart of this church is big—and you feel it as soon as you walk through the door.”
“My husband and I visited in 2001 and were greeted so warmly, we never left. After just one visit, a greeter remembered our names weeks later. That personal touch is still alive today—Blessed Hope is truly a welcoming place.”
