The New Hope Baptist Church is a historically Black organization serving Denver since 1922. Originally the First Presbyterian Church, it was renamed in 1947. Then located at 22nd and Ogden St., New Hope became a center for the civil rights movement just a few years later.
New Hope has a long history of serving the northeast Denver community. Led by the Rev. Dr. Eugene Downing Jr., New Hope's current ministries include food distribution, holiday meals, a summer youth camp, a health and wellness ministry, social justice outreaches, and many other efforts. The community we serve is diverse: Northeast Park Hill's demographics show that 42 percent of residents are Black, 26 percent are Latino, 45 percent are White, and 7 percent are two or more races. While the median age in the neighborhood is 26, 5 percent of residents are over age 75, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
We take our direction from Jesus' words in Matthew 25:40: "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.
It’s our mission to embody Christ’s love among one another, engage the community for Christ, and embrace every generation for Christ.
We envision ourselves as a congregation known for inspiring hope in Christ in Northeast Denver and beyond!
Our vision is based on 1 Thessalonians 1:3, which says, "We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ."
