Real people.
Real faith.
Real hope.
Our mission is to Love God, Love People, and Unite the Two.
We're a church for people in progress
We believe in grace, not perfection.
You don't need a clean record or a religious resume to walk through our doors. Hope Church is a place where people come as they are and find a God who meets them there.
We believe restoration is real.
We believe God specializes in new beginnings. Whatever you have walked through - failure, loss, doubt, or disappointment - there is a path forward. Grace restores.
We believe truth gives direction.
Hope Church is rooted in the Bible. We believe Scripture is alive, practical, applicable, and still speaking into the real decisions and real struggles that real people face today.
Community Impact
We believe the church should bring the love of Jesus into real life. That's why Hope Church serves our community through grocery outreach, nursing home ministry, blood drives, community projects, family support, prayer, and practical care.
"Hope Church support helped me find strength during a difficult time. Their kindness and prayers made a real difference in my life."

Your Pastors: Anthony & Danielle Miller
Anthony and Danielle Miller serve as the pastors of Hope Church in Iron Mountain, Michigan, where their passion is simple but deeply lived out: love God, love people, and unite the two. Their calling is to help form a people who live deeply rooted in the Word, led by the Spirit, and actively engaged in the mission of God.
In September 2023, they stepped into leadership of a small church plant, and what began as a group of ~10 has grown into a thriving and expanding church family, shaped by authentic worship, biblical teaching, and a culture that prioritizes real transformation over surface-level religion.
Their leadership is centered around a long-term vision they call Vision 2030, a focused commitment to spiritual depth, sustainable growth, and meaningful impact across the Upper Peninsula.
What We Believe
What we believe is the foundation for all we do cooperatively as a church and individually in our personal lives. Beliefs lead to values, and values are demonstrated through action. We want to help strengthen your belief in Christ so your values and actions can be in line with what the Bible teaches.
About the Bible
We believe that the Bible is the literal, infallible Word of God. All of life’s questions can be answered by reading and applying what’s inside, including how we should live, and how to find salvation.
II Timothy 3:16
About God
There is one God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God revealed in flesh. He is both God and man.
Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; 1 Timothy 3:16
About Sin and Salvation
We believe that everyone has sinned and needs salvation. The Bible is clear that salvation comes by the grace of God through man’s faith, and is only possible because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The Bible standard of full salvation is repentance, baptism in water by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost. As a person receives the Holy Ghost, God causes them to speak in an unlearned language as a sign to them and others that they have received it.
Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 3:3-5; Acts 2:38; I Peter 3:20-21; Mark 16:16; Titus 3:5
About the Gospel
“The gospel” is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection).
1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Romans 6:3-4
About the Future
Jesus Christ is coming again to fulfill the promise of taking His spirit-filled church to Heaven. In the end will be the final judgment, and all the righteous saints who are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise will inherit eternal life. The reward of the un-righteous will be an eternal Hell.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15
About Christian Living
As Christians, we are given two basic mandates from God. First, to love God with everything we’ve got, and to love other people. Second, we are to make new disciples for Christ through preaching the gospel to the world. In fulfilling these mandates, we should live a life that is holy… both inwardly and outwardly. We should worship God joyfully and wholeheartedly. In addition, God provides spiritual gifts that He intends to be working in the church today, including healing, miracles and supernatural faith.
Mark 12:28-31; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; 1 Corinthians 12:8-10
