Commitment to Prayer
New Hope Community Church is convinced that prayer is an essential and foundational component of Church life. We are committed to being a body of believers that persevere in prayer. Our hearts are filled with joy and confidence as we pray because with God all things are possible. NHCC has regular prayer meetings at 6 a.m. each Tuesday and Saturday morning at Pastor Mike Keith’s home. In addition, there is a prayer time designated specifically for our church at the Pastor Mike’s home the evening of the third Sunday of each month.
