About Us
Who are we anyway?
In September 2007, a small assembly of dedicated individuals, previously convening in private residences and dining establishments for weekly Bible study, envisioned the establishment of a church characterized by a contemporary worship style, setting it apart from other local congregations. The inaugural Sunday service convened at a rural western Kentucky deer camp, where 23 believers were in attendance. Subsequently, the congregation transitioned to Ruby Faye's restaurant in Clinton, followed by the leasing of an abandoned church edifice on James H. Phillips Drive. In September 2020, marking the culmination of a 13-year journey since its inception, Hope Church acquired its present campus located at 70 Circle Road.
As part of its strategic development, Hope Church is poised to enhance its existing campus, incorporating additional educational facilities and parking spaces to accommodate the burgeoning community of worshippers. The church's fundamental mission revolves around the devotion to both loving God and cultivating a spirit of love towards our neighbors.
