Coming for the first time
What Sunday morning looks like, where to park, and what to do with your hands when everybody else knows the hymn. No surprises.
Huger, South Carolina | Founded 1837
A little church with deep roots and an open door
Out here in Berkeley County, folks have been gathering at New Hope since 1837 to worship, to sing, to bury and to baptize, and to look after one another. We are not a big church. We would just be glad to see you Sunday.
Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

A word of welcome
You are welcome at New Hope
If you are reading this and wondering whether you would fit in here, save yourself the worry. You would. There are folks at New Hope whose people have been here five generations, and folks who came for the first time last month. Both are welcome, and honestly you cannot tell them apart by Sunday dinner.
We are a small congregation in a country community. We sing the old hymns. The children are not quiet and we would not want them to be. If you are hurting, somebody here will pray with you. If you are hungry, somebody here will feed you.
Come see us. Call ahead if you would rather, and somebody will meet you at the door.

How we got here
1837 to today. Slavery and freedom, a church bought and rebuilt by its own members, a fire, and a congregation that kept showing up anyway.
Pitch in
Sunday School, the choir, the youth, the men, the women, and whoever is cooking this month. Everybody here does something.
Life at New Hope
Sunday morning
Sunday School for every age at 9:45. Worship at 11:00, with the old hymns, the scripture, and the preaching. We are usually out a little after noon, give or take how the Spirit moves.
Some folks dress up. Some come in from work in jeans. Nobody is counting.
Around the table
First Sunday of the month, the whole church stays for dinner right after worship. Bring a dish if you can. If you cannot, come anyway, because there has never once been a shortage.
And when a month carries a fifth Sunday, the old All Day Meeting brings preachers from all around and we are here till the afternoon.
