The Birth Of New Hope Christian Fellowship
In the Summer of
2003, Pastor Kent and his wife Lisa – along with their two sons
Lucas (5 years old at the time) and Landon (6 months old at the
time) uprooted from Hawaii (the home that they knew for 37 years)
and obeyed the call of God on their lives.
With the heartfelt
blessing of Pastor Wayne Cordeiro and the loving support of New Hope
Oahu - Pastor Kent and his family relocated to Las Vegas with the
vision to make an eternal difference in people’s lives by pioneering
from scratch a Church called New Hope Las Vegas. “God continues to
be so faithful” Pastor Kent said, as he reflected on New Hope Las
Vegas’ small beginnings. “We didn’t come to Las Vegas with a team
of people – we only knew that there were a handful of people living
in Las Vegas interested in helping, we lived off of our life
savings, we had no office space, no church facility to meet in, and
no equipment (not even a music stand) – it was an Abraham experience
to say the least”.
With no house of
their own to live in - God’s gracious, and providing hand brought a
dear couple that opened their hearts and home to Pastor Kent &
family. During this time, Pastor Kent and Lisa were able to gather
and organize the small group of strangers interested in helping
start the church into a team.
“New Hope Las
Vegas actually started in a living room. We used a home Karaoke
machine for worship, and we cleaned and prepared the couple’s garage
for an early morning children’s ministry – as it was one of Las
Vegas’ hottest summers with the temperature reaching over 115
degrees” said Pastor Kent. In the process of
finding a church location and being declined 13 times at
various locations – a miracle happened! Pastor Kent walked into an
elementary school and asked if they would be open to having a church
meet in their facility. “Funny thing you’re asking” said the Office
Manager. “For 3 years another church was meeting here, and just the
other day, they notified us that they would be moving to another
location.” New Hope Las Vegas celebrated their grand opening in
September 2003 at this school.
Since then, we have moved our church to 3630 N Rancho Drive Ste. 108, 89130,
near Gowan and Rancho. We just celebrated our 6th Year Church Anniversary in September 2009.
Praise be to our God for all the wonderful things He has done!
