Hope Chapel

What Hope Chapel does

Hope Chapel is a single-campus, nonprofit religious organization affiliated with the Assemblies of God USA denomination, operating from 17417 N 63rd Ave, Glendale, Arizona. The church is led by Lead Pastor Eric Hernando (appointed Spring 2017) and delivers weekly Spirit-filled worship services on Sundays at 10:00 AM, with an expository preaching style. It runs an age-segmented ministry ecosystem that includes Hope Kids (nursery through 6th grade), Generation Hope Youth (middle and high school), Hope Chapel Young Adults (high school seniors through age 25), Men of Hope, Women of Hope, Girls Ministries, Royal Rangers, and Hope Smalls (small groups), plus a Hope 101 membership class and baptism services.

The organization's core technology layer is the third-party Church Center App by Planning Center, used for group enrollment, event registration, giving, and congregational communication; digital reach is extended through YouTube live streaming of Sunday services and a Spotify worship playlist. Hope Chapel monetizes exclusively through voluntary congregational contributions: recurring tithes and offerings, designated Kingdom Builders missions giving, and modest event revenue (e.g., the Refresh Conference for women at $20–$25 per ticket). The church supports 15+ international and domestic missionary partnerships across the Philippines, Japan, Cyprus, Dominican Republic, Israel, India, and Africa, and rents its facilities to external ministries including a deaf church, an Arabic-speaking church, AA/Al-Anon recovery groups, and homeschool classes. No revenue, attendance, or audited financial figures are publicly disclosed.
