About The Church
New Greater Hope Church is a church that builds hope in a hopeless world linked to the promises in Jesus Christ - Christ in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27). The church held its first first service on June 6, 1999 with three members. New Greater Hope Church is a spirit-filled church that believes in the full gospel of Jesus Christ. Pastor Calvin D.

New Greater Hope Church is an inter-city ministry serving all that come (rich or poor) teaching and preaching the Word of God.
The Vision
A church having the five-fold Ministry Gifts working in unity to equip the saints (Ephesians 4), to seek and save the lost, who are people without Jesus being the Lord of their lives and to church the unsaved with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
