For 157 years, New Hope A.M.E. Church has stood as a testament to faith, freedom, resilience, and community. Founded by formerly enslaved people, it became a sacred place for worship, education, and belonging, creating a legacy that continues to transform lives today. As part of the church’s Preservation Campaign, this journey culminates with the premiere screening of Deeds to Destiny, an inspiring documentary that brings New Hope’s extraordinary history, enduring resilience, and spiritual legacy to life. Hosted at MODEx Studio, this exclusive event offers sponsors the opportunity to help preserve and celebrate a story that deserves to be seen, remembered, and shared with future generations.

THE SANCTUARY

THE LIFE CENTER

The congregation is displaced from its main worship space because conditions are no longer safe. The restoration will preserve the historic facade and exterior character while renewing the entire interior for safe, accessible, sustainable use.

Reopening the sanctuary means restoring the spiritual heart of New Hope.

THE LIFE CENTER

The Life Center also requires rehabilitation to safely support ministry, education, fellowship, youth and senior programs, outreach, and partnerships that serve the wider community.

Renewing this space means strengthening New Hope’s ability to serve beyond Sunday morning.
