About Us

In 1997, the church broke ground at the Mill Woods campus, a big step of faith for a congregation that believed God still had people to reach. The building became a home base for reaching families who didn’t yet know Jesus.

In 2002, the church launched The Project, a Sunday night service built for young adults who were drifting from church. Older members gave up a service they loved so the next generation could have one of their own. Pastor Phil joined in 2006 to lead it, and God still honors that sacrifice today.

In 2016, the church began Engage, regular gatherings for worship and prayer. People came together to pray for their city and ask God to lead them, just as the church did 40 years earlier.

In 2018, the church opened its Terwillegar campus. The church took a new name, Hope City Church, as it began its next chapter.

In 2020, Hope City opened its Kingsway campus. The church moved online during COVID, but kept praying for the city and felt God leading it into a new community. When the doors reopened, people came searching and open to Jesus.

In 2025, Hope City expanded its Mill Woods campus, making room for more people to take their next step with Jesus. It came 50 years after a few families first prayed on a field.

Today, Hope City meets at three campuses, with over 6,500 people gathering each week. It began with a few families and a patch of prairie, and we can’t wait to see what God does next.
