ABOUT US
ABOUT US
Welcome to Audacious Hope Church, where we're not just building a community, we're fostering a movement of transformation 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 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.
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 home where your true value, identity, and purpose are not only recognized but celebrated.
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!
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.
