ABOUT HOPE CITY COMMUNITY CHURCH
Hope City Community Church is a thriving, non-denominational congregation in El Paso, Texas, averaging 1,100 in weekend attendance…and growing so fast we recently launched a third worship service to keep pace. Driven by a clear, Bible-centered mission to see the lost found and the found set free, Hope City is a church marked by spiritual momentum, outreach energy, and a grand vision to reach 40,000 people in El Paso and beyond. This is not a maintenance-mode church; it’s a community alive with purpose, and the staff culture reflects it, built around character, skill, and a bias toward action.

ABOUT EL PASO, TEXAS
El Paso is a warm, culturally rich city unlike anywhere else in the United States, a true melting pot shaped by Indigenous, Mexican, and American heritage. El Paso is uniquely connected to Las Cruces, New Mexico, and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico…three cities, two states, and two countries interwoven economically, culturally, and relationally.. It consistently ranks as one of the safest large cities in America, with affordable housing (well below the national average), strong schools, friendly neighborhoods, and a tight-knit military community anchored by Fort Bliss. For those who love the outdoors, the Franklin Mountains rise dramatically from the city itself, and mountain escapes like Cloudcroft and Ruidoso are just a short drive away. For a ministry leader, El Paso offers something rare: a deeply diverse mission field, a family-friendly quality of life, and a community where calling and culture genuinely come together.
