COMMUNITY OF HOPE LAUNCHES CREATIVE PLANS FOR NEW SITE 

Maricopa, AZ

May 12, 2009
 

The Community of Hope Church is rapidly moving into a vision for their 5 acre site at the corner of Porter and Adams Road in Maricopa.  The vision is to develop the site so that it serves the greater Maricopa community 7 days a week. The objective is to be actively using this site by the end of 2009. 

The first step in this vision is to lease a portion of the property to Leading Edge Academy.  One condition of the lease is that the Community of Hope will be able to use the modular building for its Sunday services.  Other ways to use the site with a community focus will be evaluated.  Leading Edge’s intent is to open their school to Maricopa residents in the future. 

With so many needs in the community, it is Community of Hope Church’s desire to provide support in areas not currently served by other groups. Programs are being planned for children activities, clubs, and classes. Additional space is being planned for other non-profit organizations to meet and serve community needs.  Community has always been a key value of this church, an outward focused church.  Community of Hope has served in many ways throughout the community since even before its inception in September 2005 holding the first Movies in the Park, Living Nativity, and Easter Eggstravaganza.  Community of Hope was also the catalyst for F.O.R. Maricopa Food Bank.
