Our Story
Thirteen Years. Thousands of Stories. One Night to Celebrate.
For thirteen years, Hope City Church has been more than a place to attend church. It has become a community where people have found hope, families have been strengthened, lives have been transformed, and purpose has been discovered.
The Gala of Hope brings our church family, community leaders, partners, friends, and supporters together for one unforgettable evening as we honor where we’ve been and celebrate where we’re going.
