About - New Hope Church

Everyone is welcome at New Hope Church, no matter what your background or lifestyle.

New Hope Church is made up of people of all ages and backgrounds from across Bexley and has a heart for the community and the people who live here.

We are a Bible-believing church that meets together to worship God, be taught by His word, and grow together as followers of Jesus so that we are equipped to care for and serve the people around us.

We long to have an expression of New Hope Church established in Abbeywood, Barnehurst, Bexleyheath, Crayford, Erith, Slade Green, Thamesmead and Welling so people all across Bexley can know God’s unconditional love for them.

We are part of a group called Catalyst which is part of a wider family of churches called Newfrontiers. We are also members of the Evangelical Alliance.

Meet the team

New Hope Church is led and looked after by a team who work together to take responsibility for the church.
