PURSUING JESUS TOGETHER >>>

Mount Hope Church in Portland is a Spirit-filled, presence-centered family committed to hosting and honoring God above everything else. We exist to see people encounter Jesus in a life-changing way, be rooted deeply in Scripture, and walk confidently in their identity in Christ.

 

Our gatherings are marked by passionate worship, biblical preaching, and intentional space for response and ministry as we follow the leading of Holy Spirit. We believe church is more than a Sunday service—it’s a community where every generation is valued, discipleship is intentional, and people are equipped to live out their faith boldly in everyday life. From vibrant kids and youth ministries to authentic fellowship, prayer, outreach, and leadership development, everything we do is aimed at transformation, not just attendance. If you are looking for a church that values His presence, teaches the Word with clarity, and calls you into deeper purpose, Mount Hope is a place where you
