New Hope Methodist Church · Newmarket, Ontario
Come and find new hope.
A church in the heart of Newmarket where the focus is always Jesus — and where you'll be known, welcomed exactly as you are, and pointed to the One in whom there is real and lasting hope.
You're Welcome Here
Come as you are. You'll be known by name.
New Hope isn't a place you simply attend — it's a family you belong to. Whether it's your first Sunday or you've been part of the church for forty years, the welcome is the same: you are seen, you are wanted here, and you belong. No need to pretend, perform, or have your life all together first.
The Heart of It
It all points to one person: Jesus.
New Hope isn't built around a church, a building, or a pastor. It's built around Jesus Christ — his life, his death, and his resurrection. Everything we do points to him: every song, every message, every welcome at the door.
We believe something simple and freeing: God is good, but people are broken. None of us has it all together — and that's exactly why there's good news. Jesus came as a Saviour and a rescuer, and his love is for you no matter how chaotic or uncertain life feels right now.
So our goal was never to give you more information about God. It's to help you encounter him — and to find that your life can be made new.
Our Hope For You
Known. Valued.
Equipped.
Everything we do is built around a simple conviction — that every person should be known, cared for, and helped to live a life of faith in Jesus.

Who We Are
A community church — not a commuter church.
New Hope is rooted right here in Newmarket. We're committed to the people who actually live around us — the neighbours within a few kilometres, the families who can walk to worship. Our relationships don't end when the service does; they continue in the everyday rhythm of the neighbourhood.
We're a multi-generational family — children, students, young adults, growing families, singles, and seniors — all cared for under one roof, and all pointed to the same Jesus.
"We want to be right in the middle of our community, serving people who actually live here."

A Word From Our Pastor
Honest faith, genuine welcome.
We know trust has often been broken by churches. We want to be different — above board in every way, honest about our own brokenness, and quick to point past ourselves to Jesus. We're not interested in pretending. We're pointing to a Saviour who is still at work in all of us.
"If you feel like life is not where you want it to be — come to New Hope. Get connected, become invigorated with the good news of Jesus, and you'll see your life impacted with so much meaning, purpose, and hope that you will leave changed."
Dave LombardoLead Pastor, New Hope
"Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."
