Hope’s Beliefs:

Hope in the Hills is interdenominational. We affirm the Holy Bible as the inspired Word of God and as the basis and foundation for our beliefs. Our seven essential core doctrinal beliefs are as follows. We believe in the: Trinity, full deity and humanity of Christ, spiritual lostness of the human race, substitutionary atonement and bodily resurrection of Christ, salvation by faith alone in Christ alone, physical return of Christ, and authority and inerrancy of Scripture.

Hope’s Story:

In the Beginning

HOPE started as a dream, literally. Dr. Naima woke up and wrote a manifesto about a church as diverse as heaven, full of worship and equality. She saw a family of believers who love as deeply and live as radically as God, a community on mission to impact their City of Angels and the world. Kevin had sensed the same calling two years prior, and the couple said “Yes” to God’s great adventure of church planting in 2011.

The festivities kicked off with a dozen diverse artists and professionals gathering in Kevin and Naima’s living room in Beverly Hills for a meal and eight-week “Mission: Possible” Bible Study series. By Christmas, each person had developed their personal mission statement, completed personality and spiritual gifts assessments and honed in on their specific life’s purpose and how they would help others.

Meeting weekly over food and the Word, authentic community begin to develop. Folks expressed delight in being fed both spiritually and physically. They were vocal that the Bible Study was the beginning of the church they had been searching for in Los Angeles, many whom had not considered going to a church in Beverly Hills. At the Lord’s leading, Kevin and Naima prayed and began looking for a space to meet outside their home. On the first Sunday of January 2012, Hope in the Hills started off the New Year with a soft launch by renting the Interfaith Center of Beverly Hills in the City’s busy commercial district.

In the City

Thereafter, HOPE moved to space at Sinai Temple, and then to Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills. We’ve met consistently at the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce and enjoyed Resurrection and Anniversary services at the SLS Beverly Hills.

We spent 15 years laying down strong roots in our community and building a solid foundation through praying and fasting, pouring into a gifted leadership team, serving our community and the most vulnerable in our city (the widow, the orphan) and seeking God about His vision for and through Hope in the Hills. We’ve baptized, discipled, counseled, and walked alongside countless dream chasers and dream makers making a difference. We’re excited.

In the Future

Fulfilling our mission create safe spaces to experience God and impact culture includes reaching our community. We dream of a Hope Center to address the unique needs of our artistic and professional community, one of the largest, yet most under-served communities in Los Angeles.

We equip leaders with life skills to not just “make it” in our industry, but to “make a difference” in our world. In order to do this, we must help them in the following 3 crucial areas:
• Make a Living – Survival
• Make a Difference – Service
• Make a Dream Come True – Success.
