Hope Church - fort worth - Fort Worth (TX)

5 /5 Rhonda Johnson: I’ve been part of many churches throughout my life, but none have impacted me like Hope Church. From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re genuinely seen, known, and welcomed. It’s a multi-generational community where deep, lasting relationships are formed—whether through serving, small groups, or simply doing life together. Hope Church consistently offers meaningful opportunities for spiritual growth, and you’ll find wisdom and encouragement from Christ-followers who walk alongside you. It’s a place where biblical truth is not only taught but lived out, helping you apply Gods Word in real, practical ways. If youre looking for a church that feels like home and helps you grow in faith at every stage of life, Hope Church is the place.

5 /5 Kara Baldwin: I’ve found this church to be very welcoming and friendly. The sermons are solidly based on the Bible and the people have a desire to help others walk with God - from the young children to adults. I’ve been encouraged in my own walk with God and can honestly say I have grown spiritually during my time at Hope Church. I would recommend it!

5 /5 Stephen Sneed: Hope Church has changed my life. I struggled with the practical side of my faith and Hope really helped me connect the dots, help my relationship with my wife and kids, get me plugged into serving, and gave me practical tools and paradigms for understanding and sharing my faith. I have also had the privilege of developing relationships with so many of the wonderful people here. I’m plugged into groups (which everyone should do!) and my children are taken care of and taught biblical truths in the incredible nursery and children ministry. Beyond blessed!

1 /5 Rayann Johanson: A Church More Concerned with Control Than Compassion Hope Church presents itself as a welcoming, Christ-centered community, but my experience revealed something deeply concerning. This church cultivates a culture that is, frankly, cult-like in its rigidity and judgment. If you do not conform to their unwritten social and theological codes, you are quietly (and sometimes openly) marginalized. Their message of God’s grace comes with invisible asterisks—extended only to those who live and speak in alignment with leadership expectations. Perhaps most troubling was the behavior of the former youth pastor, who enlisted young students to perform physical labor on his private farm under the guise of “ministry” and “servant leadership.” The work was often grueling, entirely unrelated to spiritual formation, and absolutely inappropriate for their age group. This was not about teaching values; it was exploitation masked as service. For many, this left emotional and spiritual scars. It’s damaging to a young person’s developing sense of worth to be told that backbreaking labor is Gods will—especially when the primary beneficiary is not the church or the poor, but one individual’s personal property. Also not a complete reflection of the church, but church members views on any type of difference physically or mentally is disturbing. Multiple members chided us on my brother’s Down syndrome being a direct result of my family’s lineage of sin. I thought we didn’t live under Old Testament law anymore? The church has yet to meaningfully address these abuses, and the broader culture remains one of spiritual elitism and performance-based belonging. This is not what the Gospel teaches. As Scripture reminds us: “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces.”(Matthew 23:13) I write this not to tear down faith, but to caution those seeking authentic spiritual community. Be discerning. Not all churches that preach grace practice it. Find somewhere else to plug in that’s grace isn’t limited.

5 /5 Stacey Vitale: I joined Hope back in 2012, a year out of college. The thing I appreciated most back then was the intentionality of the members and how welcoming everyone was. What I enjoy most now is the community that we have; everyone pitches in, helps out, pulls together, calls forward etc and because of that I have really developed deep close friendships that spur my walk with God forward!
