The Story of Hope Christian Church

In 1999 Dennis Murphy, his wife Donna, and their baby daughter moved from Los Angeles to Fairfield, CA, to help the Lord establish Hope Christian Church. This small gathering of people from two-parent churches of Crossroads Christian Church of Vacaville and First Christian Church of Suisun, Hope is now active in planting churches themselves, being a charter member of the Vine Church Planting Network.

Starting with a small gathering of 20 people on October 3, 1999, we met at Nelda Munday elementary school before growing large enough to move to Rodriguez High School, and then to our own building. Hope Christian Church has become a loving, healthy, thriving family of God creating new ministers and churches for Jesus. We continue to celebrate our anniversary every first week of October. 

Hope Christian Church is an independent non-denominational church and a 501(c) 3 non-profit corporation. We also enjoy the blessings of many associations and allegiances working together in various kingdom ministries such as local homeless, world missions, and church planting. We trace our biblical heritage to a national revival movement that began during the Second Great Awakening of 1790-1840 and continues to plant new churches today.
