Our Church Building
New Hope Christian Fellowship is a non-denominational Christian church founded in 1992 by Pastor Tom Brown on the belief that a new church was necessary for Show Low, Arizona – one that was based on Jesus and Jesus alone. In 2004, the church was given a great deal on a beautiful piece of land at the corner of US260 and Cheney Ranch Loop. But without the funds to build the church, the land stood vacant for 7 years…until construction began in earnest October, 2011.
Thanks to the answered prayers of our congregation and a very generous gift from a donor, the New Hope Christian Fellowship church building now stands on land that remained vacant for years. Praise the Lord!
The following pictures represent our journey from undeveloped land to a beautiful new building. Please join us in giving praise to God for this miraculous blessing!
