More than 100 years of hope
It began at the Albany Armory.
In 1922, around 2,000 people gathered as evangelist Dr. Charles S. Price preached about salvation in Jesus and divine healing. People gave their lives to Christ. Healings broke out. Lives were changed.
And in the middle of it all, God was planting something that would outlast those meetings.
Hope Church was born.
Today
More than 100 years have passed since those first gatherings at the Albany Armory. But the story of Hope has always been about more than buildings, names, or dates. It’s about people.
Generations have prayed, served, given, sacrificed, and carried the hope of Jesus forward. Pastors and missionaries have been sent. Lives have been changed. And the reach of one local church has stretched far beyond Albany.
We look back with deep gratitude for those who came before us and the faithfulness of God through every generation.
But we’re not only looking back.
God isn’t finished.
Our Mission
To help people thrive through H.O.P.E.
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. – Hebrews 10:23
