Our Story
In the beginning
New Hope Baptist Church (NHBC) began modestly in the Bayridge community building, then quickly moved into League City Elementary as the congregation grew .
From 1989 to 1993, NHBC met in temporary locations before acquiring land and opening its current facility in July 1993, marking a major milestone .
Over the years, the church has been led by several pastors—including Norman Fansler, Charley Day, Jeff Jones, Dick Sumner, and Ben Hollan—each contributing to its spiritual and community growth .

Where we are at
Over the years, NHBC had adopted a small country church culture, whihc was the culture of the community wihen NHBC built their building. However, the eastside of League City expereinced tremedous growth and grew out to NHBC.
In May of 2022, NHBC called Ben Hollan to be the Lead Pastor of the church. Since that time, Pastor Ben has led the church to transition to be more of a suburban community church that focuses on reaching out to the community around it.
Pastor Ben's goal in leading NHBC through this transition is that the churhc would be faithful in loving, serving, and reaching the community that God has brought to it.
