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.

In the Bible, these are often called pastors, overseers or elders. We tend to go with the word 'elders'.

John Masheder

John is married to Paula and has three grown-up children. He works full time for New Hope Church and leads the team.

James Duncan

James is married to Sarah and has a son. He also has a job in the leisure business and enjoys a sociable craft beer.

James Lumgair

James is married to Ally and has three young children. He also works for the NHS building digital products.

The church is also served by lots of wonderful people in brilliant teams from trustees to children’s workers.

Giving

The Bible teaches us a lot about handling our money and giving. Giving honours God, blesses the community and resources the church.

The Bible says to give regularly, proportionally (according to income) – and in faith: trusting God to provide.
