After months of prayer, fasting, and faithful conversation, we believe God is leading us to bring our church family together in one place. The decision to consolidate the North (Fayetteville) and South (Starr’s Mill) Campuses is a step toward long-term strength, renewed clarity, and greater ministry impact. Moving to the Starr’s Mill location allows us to focus our energy, volunteers, and financial resources in a single place while creating a vibrant church experience for everyone and expanding our ability to serve the community well.

In order to make space for every small group, we will move to 3 Small Group hours while maintaining 2 Worship Services at the South location (Starr’s Mill). This schedule is designed not only for logistics, but for ministry. We’re building in extra time so our gatherings can remain unhurried, meaningful, and Spirit-led. As one church family, this rhythm will help us grow stronger together while welcoming new faces and faithfully walking in step with where God is leading.

WORSHIP SERVICE TIMES     8:45 AM | 10:00 AM
SMALL GROUPS     8:45 AM | 10:00 AM | 11:15 AM

We will continue to be called New Hope Baptist Church. This reflects that we are no longer operating in two locations, but are moving forward together with one name, one mission, and one heart for ministry. Keeping the name “New Hope” honors the legacy of both locations and celebrates the trust and faithfulness that brought us to this moment of coming together.

The Hispanic Ministry will continue strong as part of New Hope Together at our Old Starr’s Mill location. Worship service will take place at 10:00 AM, followed by small group gatherings. This move allows the Hispanic Ministry to continue thriving in a dedicated space with room to grow, while remaining fully connected to the heart and mission of New Hope Baptist Church.

We are taking faithful, proactive steps to ensure long-term sustainability. Operating two large campuses has become increasingly costly, especially as attendance at the North Campus (Fayetteville) has declined. By consolidating, we can steward resources more wisely and focus on greater ministry impact. As we continue to give generously, we trust in the Lord’s ongoing provision and leading.

While both campuses are deeply loved and have played meaningful roles in our church’s story, the South Campus (Starr’s Mill) is better positioned to support our church’s long-term future.

Over the past decade, the Starr’s Mill location has seen steady growth and is located in a rapidly expanding area, offering more centralized access for many families. In contrast, the North Campus (Fayetteville) has seen a considerable decrease in membership and has become increasingly costly to maintain. The size and age of the facility require significant resources that are no longer financially sustainable given current attendance and usage.

We are prayerfully considering future plans for the North Campus (Fayetteville) property. More details will be shared once they are finalized.

Yes. Much careful preparation has gone in to make sure this location is ready to welcome everyone with excellence and warmth. This includes evaluating service times, classroom usage, and even long-term facility updates. There may be temporary growing pains, but we believe the reward is worth it as we worship together as one family.

We are committed to carrying forward what matters most. Every ministry from youth and children to outreach and small groups, will continue at the South (Starr’s Mill) location. Transition plans have been planned to ensure nothing is lost and that all can thrive in a unified setting.

The current Wednesday night session will continue as planned through October 22 at the North Campus (Fayetteville). Beginning October 29, all classes will be moved to the South Campus (Starr’s Mill). We are grateful for the discipleship and community that happens midweek!

We will thoughtfully work to reschedule all appropriate North Campus (Fayetteville) events to the South Campus (Starr’s Mill). Our goal is to honor the purpose and heart of these gatherings while aligning them with our future as New Hope Together.

The weekday program at the North Campus (Fayetteville) will continue through the remainder of the full 2025–2026 school year. Families and staff can expect no immediate changes as we honor our existing commitments and ensure a smooth, well-supported experience for everyone involved.

The cemetery at the North (Fayetteville) location will be preserved and respected. Its care will continue regardless of the property’s future use.

We’re excited for this next chapter as one church family. As we come together as one campus, we believe this is a season filled with opportunity: new friendships, fresh momentum, and shared purpose.

Our South Campus (Starr’s Mill) is prepared and eager to receive everyone with warmth and hospitality. We believe this season will bring growth, energy, and deeper connection as we move forward as New Hope Together.
