Meet Hope Church:
HOPE Church, in Voorhees, NJ, is a 30-year-old ministry. HOPE currently has two Sunday morning worship services (paused by Covid) and a new and growing digital community. The Worship Pastor works closely with the preaching team and Worship Arts director to develop weekly creative worship experiences and special worship opportunities throughout the year. HOPE has a history of allowing a staff person’s passions, skills, gifts and talents to mold a job description knowing that the ministry thrives when the leaders are thriving. Of course, there are also basic qualifications that are necessary for this role. The Worship Pastor would be responsible for leading worship and developing worship leaders for both in person and digital worship experiences; leading and pastoring worship musicians and tech volunteers; supervise and oversee part time audio and visual tech coordinators.
Our vision …
- Connecting people to God through a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.

- Connecting the church to the world to be salt & light.
Our strategies …
- We INVITE people to experience God and explore a life of following Jesus.
- We CONNECT with others in authentic Christian community under the direction of the Holy Spirit.
- We GROW through the process of conforming to the image of Jesus Christ for the sake of others.
- We SERVE others as an expression of our faith in Jesus Christ.
Our principles of community …
HOPE embraces this vision and these strategies while growing a healthy spiritual community. A healthy and vital spiritual community is attractive and challenging to maintain. And sadly, community is easily destroyed. At HOPE we have 5 Principles of Community we believe help when dealing with conflict within community.
- The Lord loves unity.
- Discern what is essential, and not.
- It’s better to be loving than right.
- We pay attention to our culture, but we don’t follow it.
- Through the Bible, God still speaks to our world.
