Christian
Education is the teaching arm of The New Hope
Baptist Church. Without it, the church would
fail to comply with Jesus' Great Commission,
which tells us to "Go ye therefore, and teach
all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the HolyGhost.
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever
I have commanded you, and lo I am with you
always, even unto the end of the world, Amen"
Matthew 28: 19-20
The Ministry of
Christian Education here at New Hope offers
the right tools to all participants to
effectively learn and "Fall In Love with the
Word of God". From Sunday School (Sundays at
9:30 AM and 5:30 PM), to Christian Bible
Training (Spring and Fall Semesters) and
including annual Vacation Bible Training. For

The Deacon and
Deaconess Ministry is comprised of a faithful
assembly of God's servants who are full of
faith and wisdom and their lives are full of
God's work. Appointed by the Pastor, the
members of this ministry serve under the
leadership and spiritual direction of the
Pastor and are loyal to him and the church in
prayer support, encouragement and fellowship.

Link". This intra-congregational ministry
connects each individual and family member of
the church with a Deacon or Deaconess and
