How It All Started
City of Hope (COH) is a non-denominational church that serves as an Oasis of Hope located in the city of Indianapolis, Indiana. COH was founded in 2015, and has grown from fifteen members, holding services in a living room, to now over four hundred members committed to Christ. In our very first year of existence, God blessed us with the opportunity to transition from a living room to hosting services in Belzer Middle School located in the Lawrence Township Community. In just two in a half years, God yet again enlarged our territory and blessed us with our very own church facility located at 10607 E. 56th Street. This particular property sits on 12.9 acres of land which will allow us the opportunity to expand where we are and literally build a City of Hope that will impact the City of Indianapolis. The members of COH are committed to growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Pastor Duncan is devoted to enlightening, empowering and encouraging the people of God. The City of Hope passionately serves as the voice and the hand helping humanity to hope in their reality, heal from their history and discover their destiny. We proudly serve everyone with compassion, honor, excellence and respect.
Expanding The Vision...
In an effort to expand our community outreach initiatives, we have developed a community development corporation called the Hands of Hope. This will enable us to continue to serve our community in an even greater fashion. This Initiative is strategically designed to serve underserved and vulnerable communities first locally, and ultimately nationally and around the globe. Our desire is to establish programs and services locally as well as partner with trusted organizations at the national and global scale to carry out our mission to serve as the voice and hands that helps humanity hope in their reality, heal from their history and discover their destiny. Our focus is to deploy best practices and to deliver high caliber services, in a concerted effort to provide support in the areas of education (to empower and support educational endeavors), health and wellness (to boost the quality of life overtime), child advocacy (to promote the welfare of children) and economic empowerment (to secure families through increased fiscal opportunities).
Where we are headed...
God has blessed us exceedingly and abundantly above anything that we could ever ask, think or image. God has allowed us to acquire 12.9 acres of land which will afford us the opportunity to expand where we are and literally build a City of Hope within our community that will serve as an Oasis of Hope and impact the City of Indianapolis.
