Hope for the Future!

This is an extremely exciting time in the life of Hope Hill Church! With God’s guidance we secured a property in 2020 right off of Dumfries Road in the community we have faithfully served for nearly 10 years. This property, now known as The Hope Center is overflowing with possibility. God is so good!

We need your help as we take steps to develop and renovate the Hope Center. Our desire is to develop this space as our permanent home for Hope Hill and a resourcing ministry center to our community and beyond. We’re asking everyone to prayerfully consider how God may want you or your family to participate.

Instead of creating a large church building that is surrounded by a sea of parking and only used once or twice a week, it is out vision to create a campus that is vibrant throughout the week, a Hope Center!

We want to create space that is able to be used by a variety of different groups, organizations, etc. Ultimately, our hope is the entire property will be active all week – not just Sundays.

What will we gain from this property renovation?

  • More indoor meeting/training spaces
  • More exterior connection spaces
  • Increased kids & students space
  • Improved facility for events & meetings
  • An outreach hub for Hope For NOVA
  • An active SUP and Religious zoning from PWC

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Why purchase a property now?

Although the Church is not a building, the Church has always had a gathering place. From our beginnings, our gathering place has been inside school buildings. Most recently, we were renting space at Hylton High School. However, HHC leadership has been praying and searching for a more permanent place to call home for several years. When COVID-19 began to spread throughout the USA, church meeting spaces were suddenly limited. This property became available at just the right time and fits perfectly with our mission and vision.

 

Why this property?

The heartbeat of HHC has always been to create a space that is able to be used by a variety of different groups and organizations. Our hope is that any property we own would be used throughout the week—not just on Sundays. This property has the potential to do just that.

 

Is the land zoned for church use?

Not yet. The land is currently zoned for residential. Once the Pavilion renovation is complete, our  “special use permit” (SUP) will be activated. 

 

What is a “special use permit” (SUP)?

A special use permit allows a parcel of land or property to be used in a manner that deviates from normally accepted activities in that area. In other words, the special use permit creates exceptions to zoning regulations and ordinances.

 

How will the Pavilion be used?

The Pavilion will become a space for smaller worship gatherings, prayer nights, special events, and maybe even host a church plant. 

There will also be a designated Hope For NOVA hub in the Pavilion for outreach,  including a Food Pantry.
