New Hope Church

What New Hope Church does

New Hope Church is an independent, non-profit religious organization founded on December 10, 1911, when 11 people gathered on New Hope Hill in Westmoreland, Tennessee. Over its 113+ year history, the church has expanded from that original meeting place into a multi-building campus that includes an original 1951 church building (still used for Children's Church), a main sanctuary constructed in 1988 and updated in 2024, and the Family Life Center built in 2001. The organization operates under the Christian faith tradition and is led by Senior Pastor Lionel Borders and Children's Pastor Rhonda Custer, supported by a staff of 38 employees.

The church offers Sunday worship services, a dedicated Children's Church program, and the Kid's Kingdom Daycare housed in the Family Life Center. It also runs community outreach initiatives organized around four stated biblical pillars: CARE, ACCOMPANY, REACH, and ENCOURAGE. The Family Life Center provides multi-purpose space for teaching, large community events, and planned future homeschool enrichment programming. The church serves a regional community spanning Sumner County, Tennessee and adjacent areas of Kentucky, attracting attendees from Gallatin, TN, Scottsville, KY, and Lafayette, TN.

The organization's revenue model relies on voluntary tithes and offerings from its congregation, supplemented by fee-based services such as Kid's Kingdom Daycare. Its go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, relying primarily on word-of-mouth referrals among members and on a basic digital presence (a Facebook page, the church website, and the One Call Now communication service). New Hope Church does not operate a technology product or platform, has no app, and has no disclosed funding, investor relationships, or partnerships.

Direct peers

• Cross Point Church: Nashville-area non-denominational multi-site church emphasizing community and next-generation ministry. Operates a directly comparable model of regional community worship plus children's and family programming.
• Brentwood Baptist Church: Mid-size Tennessee Baptist congregation operating in the same state and general region as New Hope Church, with comparable multi-generational programming including children's ministry, community outreach, and family services. Most directly comparable as a same-state, similar-theology independent church.
• Fellowship Bible Church: Tennessee-based non-denominational Bible-teaching church with comparable community programming and family-oriented ministry. Operates a similar model to New Hope Church in the same regional context, with overlapping target demographic.

Others

• Bright Horizons Family Solutions: National childcare and early-education provider. Comparable to the Kid's Kingdom Daycare business line embedded within New Hope Church's Family Life Center, and representative of the fee-based operating model the daycare arm could pursue.
• KinderCare Learning Centers: Large multi-site U.S. childcare provider. Relevant as a peer to New Hope Church's Kid's Kingdom Daycare line — illustrating the scaled, fee-based daycare model that the Family Life Center operation could evolve toward.

Broad incumbents

• North Point Community Church: Multi-campus Atlanta-area non-denominational church known for structured small-group and family ministry programming. Comparable in mission focus on community and family formation, though operating at significantly greater scale than New Hope Church.
• Saddleback Church: Large multi-site Southern California congregation with a robust family ministry, community outreach, and small-group 'care/accompany/reach/encourage'-style programming. Functionally analogous to New Hope Church in mission pillars, though at much larger scale.
• Life.Church: Large multi-site non-denominational Christian church with a strong digital and online-giving infrastructure. While far larger than New Hope Church, it operates the same fundamental model of weekly worship plus children's programming and serves as a benchmark for what a scaled independent congregation can become.
• Elevation Church: Multi-site non-denominational church with a strong digital presence and family/community programming. Comparable in the faith-based community-formation model, but operating at multi-state scale rather than a single rural campus.

Emerging players

• Watermark Church (various): Mid-size community-focused church with strong emphasis on discipleship, family ministry, and structured community programs. Comparable in mission structure and congregation-scale orientation to New Hope Church, with overlap on children's and family programming.
