Hope City Church has found its new home
SUMMARY: After years of planning, searching, and raising money, Hope City Church is ready for its next phase. Community members recently gathered to view the church's new space and celebrate its future. Senior and founding Pastor Josh Lafy expressed immense joy over the church's progress. Previously, as a setup and tear-down church, members spent 16 months setting up and dismantling their operations every Sunday. Having moved through various locations, Hope City Church is thrilled to transition from a church plant to an established church. They aim to move into their new location on SE Street in Meridian, in the old TND Furniture building, within the next year.
