About Hope Church
Hope Church, Bangor is part of the Salt & Light family of Churches.
We are a lively, family church with a relaxed, informal and contemporary
style, keen to work with other churches in Bangor to reach the people of
Bangor with the truth, life and hope of the Christian gospel.
A group of about 20 of us planted Hope Church from Caernarfon
Pentecostal Church in September 2003. We originally met weekly
in Cae Top School, Upper Bangor but now with a congregation of over 60 have
outgrowth the hall and have started meeting in Ysgol Friars at 10.30am on
Sundays. We have five cell groups which continue to grow and incorporate
most of the regular members of our congregation.
We have a varied congregation, with families, students and children all worshipping
alongside one another. We also have a variety of nationalities represented
including Welsh, English, Irish and Patagonian.
Why not come along and join us!

Vision & Values
Our Vision
We are a lively, family church with a relaxed, informal and contemporary
style. We summarise our shared vision as TRUTH - LIFE - HOPE.
TRUTH - The truth about God is found in the Bible, and became a visible reality
in the person of Jesus Christ. We want to know more of this truth:
to learn more about what the Bible says, and to get to know Jesus through
developing a deeper relationship with him.
LIFE - knowing the truth is not enough: knowing it should lead to living
it! We want our lives to be transformed and shaped more and more each
day by experiencing the reality of God's life in us, through the power of
the Holy Spirit.
HOPE - the truth and life we have received through Jesus give us an amazing
hope, both now and for the future. It also gives us an exciting mission
to bring the same hope to others. We want to see as many people as
possible finding new hope in Jesus, and themselves becoming bringers of hope
to others... and so on!
Our Values
Hope Church doesn't belong to an established denomination, but we are part
