THE CAMPAIGN: NEW HOPE | Their Faith. Our Foundation.

This is not a single repair or a short-term renovation. It is a comprehensive, multiphase preservation effort requiring extraordinary care, expertise, investment, and long-term commitment.

The work will address the historic sanctuary, its aging interior, essential building systems, accessibility, safety, and the rehabilitation of the Life Center.

Every decision must balance responsible preservation with the needs of a living, active church.

The sanctuary is the spiritual heart of New Hope. Preservation will preserve its historic facade and architectural character while renewing the interior for safe, accessible, and sustainable worship.

The Life Center supports ministry beyond Sunday morning. Its rehabilitation will strengthen New Hope’s ability to provide education, fellowship, youth and senior programming, outreach, and community partnerships.

The grounds hold generations of memory and bear witness to the people who built, served, worshiped, and found hope at New Hope. Preserving this sacred setting ensures that its history remains visible and honored.

Every gift becomes part of the preservation.

Your support will help:

• Preserve a historic African American landmark
• Restore the sanctuary as a safe place of worship
• Protect the architectural character of New Hope
• Renew spaces for ministry and community service
• Improve accessibility and essential building systems
• Strengthen educational, youth, senior, and outreach programs
• Preserve the founders’ legacy for future generations
• Ensure that New Hope remains a visible symbol of faith, resilience, and possibility

Your gift does more than restore a building. It helps return a congregation to its spiritual home and protects a legacy that belongs to the wider community.

Every contribution brings New Hope closer to preservation and reopening.

A pledge allows you to make a significant commitment over an approved period of time.

Leadership gifts provide essential momentum and help advance major phases of the preservation.

Corporations, foundations, congregations, and community organizations may support the campaign through sponsorships, grants, matching gifts, and strategic partnerships.

Create a lasting tribute by making a gift in honor or memory of someone whose faith, service, or life has inspired you.

Depending on approved church policies, supporters may also contribute through planned gifts, securities, donor-advised funds, employer matching programs, qualified charitable distributions, or approved in-kind services.
