TO GOD BE THE GLORY GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE
PROVERBS 3:5-6
On February 2, 2010, Pastor Terry Coomer met with a small group of believers in the Hampton Inn in North Little Rock because of their desire to see such a church established in the North Little Rock-Sherwood area. On February 2, 2010, Hope Baptist Church was established and the first service was Wednesday evening, February 3, 2010. The first Sunday service was held on February 7, 2010. God marvelously provided a new church building with the church purchasing their current building at 139 Shadow Oaks Dr., Sherwood, Arkansas. The first Sunday service in the new building was held on May 30, 2010. The church obtained a mortgage for the building on August 11, 2011. In a miracle of God’s grace we paid off the building on August 11, 2019. Eight years to the day of obtaining the mortgage! We have totally renovated our educational building and also put a balcony in the auditorium along with many other updates. We praise God for the miracle of our church building!
Hope Baptist Church was originally supported by Pastor Coomer and Kim’s sending church and other Independent Baptist churches across the country. Miraculous growth has taken place to allow Hope Baptist Church to become a supporting church of several church planting missionaries both in the United States and abroad (Acts 1:8). After pastoring 5 different churches over 41 years of ministry and ten years of ministry at Hope Baptist Church, Pastor Coomer retired from the pastoral ministry on March 1, 2020.
We ask that you pray for us as we seek to help and be an encouragement to North Little Rock-Sherwood, Arkansas. Join us this Sunday, you will be glad you did!
