Hope Christian Church

The mission of Hope Christian Church of Columbia, Illinois is “Loving God and Loving People to Jesus for Life”.  In 1993 Pastor Darrell Jones and his wife Ellen and two young children relocated to Columbia to lead a group of believers who had banded together to plant a Christian Church that would soon serve Monroe, St. Clair and Randolph Counties.

During the early years Hope’s congregation met in several locations including Todd Hall, Columbia City Park, Dasher Funeral Home (Main St. in Columbia) and Zahnow Elementary in Waterloo.  In 1995, Hope obtained land on Route 3 and through the use of a self-funded bond program and the labor of individual members, a new building was completed and the first service was held in 1998.

Today Hope Christian Church offers a variety of programs for the entire family including Sunday Worship and Sunday School/Adult Bible Fellowship (ABFs), Women’s Group, Men’s Group, Celebrate Recovery, and various youth activities including AWANA, FUEL, Cribs, Jubilation (a childrens performance group) and a Preschool.

Hope is founded on the teaching of Jesus Christ and is striving to bring Christ to those who do not have a personal relationship with Him.
