Building On the Solid Rock of Jesus
"Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock." - Matthew 7:24-25
Hope’s Home for the Next Generation
We know that a Church is not a building - it's a people - but we also recognize that having a warm - loving - and welcoming place to gather as a family and serve the local community is essential. A beautiful door was opened to us at the end of 2022 & we began renting this Historic Church Building @ Fostertown.
Now -- we have been given the opportunity to purchase it and continue the legacy of Christ's ministry that began here nearly 200 years ago (1834).
We are honored to take up the mantle and the Christ centered ministries first envisioned by those original members - and so beautifully carried on over the years -
by Christ's faithful - but we need your help ... "for such a time as this" (Esther 4:14)
We are dedicated to continuing to serve, and support our local community for Jesus Christ into the next generation and beyond here at Fostertown!

a message from our senior pastor!
Dear Friends,
For nearly two centuries, the church at Fostertown has been a place where faith has been nurtured, prayers have been lifted, and lives have been shaped for God’s purposes.
Today, we stand at a meaningful moment in that story. As Hope Christian Church, we believe God has entrusted us with both a sacred inheritance and a hopeful future. Through our Building Campaign — Hope’s Home for the Next Generation: Investing in the Future — we are stepping forward in faith to purchase this historic property, care for what has been entrusted to us, and ensure that its sanctuary, buildings, grounds, and ministries continue to serve generations to come. Your generosity is more than a financial gift—it is an act of faith and love. It is a way of honoring the vision of those who came before us while making room for those God will bring after us. Every prayer, every contribution, and every act of encouragement helps carry this legacy forward.
Thank you for your faithfulness, your partnership, and your willingness to invest in what God is doing here at Fostertown! Together, we are building not just a structure, but a spiritual home and legacy for generations to come.
With gratitude and hope,
Bob DeFelice
Senior Pastor, Hope Christian Church
