Come join us as we dream big, embrace hope with open arms, and journey together towards a future full of possibilities. This is more than just a church - it's where hope shines bright, where you belong, and where change begins. Welcome to Audacious Hope Church in Northeast Philadelphia.
Freddy Thomas, our lead pastor, has decades of experience and a heart for guiding individuals towards their fullest potential in Jesus. He is known for his deep love for people and his authenticity. His wife, Susan, our co-lead pastor, brings abundant compassion and care for the Northeast Philadelphia community, along with a genuine love for helping people connect in meaningful ways.
We are guided by a simple yet powerful belief that EVERYONE has the capacity to BECOME BETTER, DISCOVER THEIR PURPOSE, THRIVE, and EMPOWER OTHERS to do the same. We're committed to creating a space where this belief becomes a reality in individuals from any walk of life, as they are supported by a vibrant community and develop a deep connection to something greater than themselves.
OUR VALUES
Here at Audacious Hope, Jesus is our only hero. He's our Savior, Lord, and the focus of our worship. Everything revolves around Him. We live, move, and find our identity in Him. Jesus is the core of our existence. Our greatest desire is to know Him. Jesus is it.
The Bible depicts us as the bride, body, and friends of Jesus, among other positions. However, our primary identity is as children of God. We recognize God as the Creator and ourselves as His creation, an eternal distinction. Claiming to be children of God doesn't imply equality with Him; rather, it's the key to accessing all privileges secured by Jesus' finished work.
We believe love is above all. Everyone, regardless of nationality, language, culture, or background, should be seen, loved, valued, and honored at Audacious Hope. Our community embraces diversity within the body of believers. We love with joyful hearts.
GENEROSITY IS OUR PRIVILEGE
Generosity is about giving more than what is required. We see generosity as a privilege. We're generous with our time, talents and treasures. We go first in our giving. God has given richly to us, and it's our honor to give back to Him.
Every member of our church has ownership. We're committed to creating a sense of belonging through initiatives, volunteering, giving, and active participation in our church and her mission.
We believe in a supernatural God and in our ability as spiritual beings to access the supernatural. While it may defy logic, its undeniable presence and impact cannot be ignored. Pursuing supernatural solutions means advancing God's Kingdom on earth, and it's our priority.

OUR STRATEGY
Sunday Services
God desires a personal connection with each of us. Beyond mere religious rituals, He craves a genuine relationship with us. That's why during our weekend gatherings, we prioritize nurturing that connection. Whether you're exploring faith for the first time, wrestling with questions, or have been following Christ for years, our services provide a welcoming environment to delve deeper into understanding God and drawing nearer to Him.
Small Groups
God has set up a way for us to experience true freedom: by surrounding ourselves with people who support us along the journey. Life is better when done with others. Joining one of our Audacious Hope Small Groups is a simple and fun way to discover this transformative sense of community.
Growth Track
Each of us plays a vital role in God's plan. We all have a purpose, but life can feel like a puzzle until we uncover our purpose. That's where the Audacious Hope Growth Track comes in. It's designed to guide us through the journey of finding our purpose, with opportunities available every Sunday at Audacious Hope.
Dream Team
God's ultimate vision for our lives is to positively impact others. According to the Bible, this gives us joy and meaning. Through the Audacious Hope Dream Team, we aim to link every individual with a chance to fulfill their purpose by utilizing their unique abilities to serve both the church and the wider community.
At Audacious Hope Church, love, joy, laughter, and authenticity are how we do life. Here, you'll find more than just a gathering place – It's a place where your real worth, how God sees you, and your goals are not only recognized but celebrated.
