Our Mission:  To connect as many people as possible to the Hope of Jesus.

Our call to the city of Maricopa began in 2005 with a simple desire: to bring as much good to our community as possible.  

For more than 20 years, we’ve tried to live that out in practical ways; by being involved in city life, coaching kids’ teams, serving in our schools, hosting community events, helping our neighbors, and simply being present.

We believe that when our community flourishes, we flourish too.

Our desire is to be a church that doesn’t just meet in Maricopa, but lives for Maricopa; bringing hope, serving people, building relationships, and helping our entire community thrive.

Our Core Values

For more than 20 years, we’ve tried to live out our calling by loving our neighbors, building relationships, serving our community, and helping Maricopa flourish.

These three values shape how we live out that calling.

FUN

We believe following Jesus should be filled with joy.

God has given each of us unique gifts, and we believe those gifts are meant to be shared with joy. We don't take our mission lightly, but we don't think we have to take ourselves too seriously either.

We value laughter, celebration, creativity, and having fun together as we serve God and our community.

We want COH to be a place where people experience the joy of following Jesus; and where serving others is something we genuinely enjoy.

COMMUNITY

We believe we are better together.

Life was never meant to be lived alone. We believe the journey of faith is best lived in relationship with other people, with Jesus at the center.

Community means more than attending the same church. It means knowing one another, caring for one another, serving one another, and walking through life together.

And our community doesn't stop at the church doors. We believe God has called us to be part of the larger Maricopa community; to know our neighbors, serve our city, and help the people around us flourish.

When our community flourishes, we flourish too.

WORSHIP

We believe Jesus is at the center of everything.

Worship is more than what happens when we sing on Sunday morning. Worship is the way we live.

Scripture points us to Jesus and helps us understand who God is and how He calls us to live. We value sharing the timeless truth of Scripture in ways people can understand and apply to everyday life.

We gather each week to worship Jesus, but we also believe worship continues when we love our neighbors, serve our community, use our gifts, care for people, and live on mission.

Our desire is to help people connect with the hope of Jesus and then carry that hope into their homes, workplaces, neighborhoods, schools, and community.

FUN. COMMUNITY. WORSHIP.

These aren't just things we do at Community of Hope.

They're how we live out our calling to bring the hope of Jesus to Maricopa and help our community flourish.

What We Believe

About Salvation:  We believe that salvation is a gift from God, not something we can earn through our own efforts. Salvation is meant to be experienced here and now, transforming our lives on earth. [Ephesians 2:8-9]

About the Trinity:  We believe in the one true God revealed in the Bible as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—a relationship of love, presence, and self-giving. This relational nature of God is something we strive to emulate, and we believe we are invited to join in the divine relationship of the Trinity. [2 Corinthians 13:14]

About God:  We believe that God is the Creator of all things and that His very nature is Love. God desires for His Kingdom to be realized on earth, and He is actively involved in our lives and in the world to bring about a Kingdom of love, forgiveness, and peace. [Psalm 121]

About Jesus:  We seek to place Jesus at the center of our lives. We believe that Jesus is the only Son of God, the promised Messiah and King. Jesus lived on earth, died on the cross, was buried, and was resurrected on the third day by the power of the Holy Spirit. His life and teachings reveal the best way to live, and by following Him, we can experience the abundant life He came to give. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. [Matthew 6:33]

About the Bible:  We believe the Bible is the authoritative guide for our beliefs and actions. It reveals the story of who we are and who God is, ultimately pointing us to Jesus, who gives us life. [2 Timothy 3:16-17]

About Identity:  Our purpose is to know, love, and serve God and our King, Jesus. We believe that by following Jesus, we become fully known and fully alive. Everyone is created to live a fulfilling life, no matter their circumstances. To discover our true identity in Christ, we must follow Him on a journey that includes the cross and the resurrection. [John 1:12-13]

About Stewardship:  We believe that a follower of Jesus should live a life of sacrifice, not driven by the pursuit of material wealth, but defined by generosity and service. Jesus came to serve, not to be served, and it is in a life of servanthood that we find true fulfillment.
