ABOUT US

We are in-person for Summer Sundays for one 10:00 am service, which is streamed online.

On Sundays, we have age-specific programs for kids from birth to 8th Grade that run during the entire one-hour experience, so we encourage you to come at least 15 minutes before the service so you have time to sign your kids in.  

We have plenty of accessible seating, so if you have any special needs, don’t worry!  We have you covered.  Our auditorium is also equipped with hearing assistance. Simply stop by the info desk for a unit. For hygienic reasons, we recommend bringing your own set of headphones.

HAVE QUESTIONS?  Stop by our Info Centre (just inside the front doors), or give us a call, and we would be glad to arrange a tour of our facilities or help with any questions you might have!

We believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God, infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.

We believe in one God who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. 

We believe Jesus Christ to be the eternal Son of God who died for the sins of the world, rose from the dead, and ascended to the Father.

We believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer, leading us into truth, convicting us of sin, and empowering us for service.

We believe that people are created in the image of God, but fell through sin, incurring both spiritual and physical death.

We believe salvation has been provided for all people through Christ's sacrifice on the cross.  Those who repent and believe in Christ are born again and receive eternal life.

We believe in the universal church which is the Body of Christ, whose purpose is to glorify God and share the gospel with the world.

We believe there will be a final judgment where each person's eternal destination of heaven or hell will be determined by their response to Jesus Christ.

There are two unique and separate dimensions to church membership:

Qualifications for official membership in New Hope Community Church (London) Inc. include the following:

Lead Pastor

Sam is a sold-out follower of Jesus who has given his life to serve Him and others. He loves the scriptures and is passionate about preaching them in a way that inspires people to connect with and experience God for themselves. Sam also takes great delight in his family. He likes nothing better than spending time with them, exploring new things, laughing hard, playing sports, and watching good movies.

Founding Pastor

In 1992, Greg founded New Hope with a desire to help connect people with God and each other, particularly those not typically drawn to church. He currently leads the Sunday teaching team and indulges in his lifelong interest in sports and classic Chevy muscle cars. Greg’s bucket list is getting shorter and shorter but if anyone could fix him up with flying a fighter jet he’d be forever grateful.

Executive Pastor

Denise leads our LifeGroup Ministry, provides Spiritual Care and oversees the administrative functions of New Hope.  She is part of our Sunday communications team and has a passion to connect people.  She loves sitting on the dock of the bay during summer months and absolutely loves playing tennis.  One thing that she can’t live without is coffee.

Worship Pastor

Joelle leads our worship ministry on Sundays and throughout the week with a deep love for Jesus and for people. Her heart is to create space for others to encounter the life-changing presence of God through music. She believes there is nothing sweeter than the name of Jesus and longs to see people carry that truth into their everyday lives.
She loves her family, good coffee, new adventures, photography, and finding joy in God’s beautiful creation. She loves a good laugh too!

Tech & Production Director 

Josh runs our tech ministries at the church.  He has his Bachelor of Arts in Media Information and Technoculture from UWO, where he also completed a minor in Religious Studies, making him a great person to work with tech here at the church. When he’s not at the church, he’s probably playing sports or working on another video project! 

Youth Coordinator

Annabel also known as “Pardy”, has been serving in kids and youth ministries since she was 13 and has an Advanced Diploma in Graphic Design. She is excited to help co-lead the youth of New Hope in building a strong foundation in Jesus Christ. If you ever have trouble finding Annabel, just take a quick listen for her iconic laugh and it’ll lead you in the right direction! She loves reviewing movies, snacking on Cheez-Its and root beer, being outdoors, and spending time with her friends, family, and her pick-up truck, Big Tony. 

Youth Coordinator 

Will is especially passionate about seeing the scriptures come alive in peoples' lives. He obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Religious Education (Biblical Studies focus) from Summit Pacific College in 2011. He followed that up by receiving a Master of Theological Studies focused on Biblical Theology and then a Master of Divinity focused on Biblical languages both from McMaster University in 2015 and 2018. He loves helping people understand how their personal stories are all a part of God's grand story. In his spare time, you can find Will walking the family dog, reading, or watching movies. He thinks hockey is the greatest sport and is a devout Toronto Maple Leafs fan. 

Children's Ministry Director

Leisha is excited to serve as the Children’s Ministry Director and has a genuine love for working with people and creating meaningful connections. She’s passionate about building a welcoming, fun, and safe environment where children can grow, learn, and feel truly seen. Leisha enjoys bringing energy and creativity into everything she does, whether that’s planning engaging activities or connecting with families. Outside of ministry life, she loves listening to music, unwinding creatively, and spending time with her big dog, Kratos, who keeps her on her toes.
