Making No Distinctions When it Comes to Loving People

If you have family members with special needs, those involved in New Hope Church Disability Ministries look forward to sharing Christ's love with you and your family. Contact Pastor Kraig Peterson at 763-971-5117 for more information.

As Jesus taught, we are to love one another. He did not make disctinctions about what kind of people to love. In fact, He even instructed us to love our enemies. He also told us to look out for orphans and widows-all those who are unable to look out for themselves. Jesus has a special place for those who seem "less than perfect" in the eyes of the world.

At New Hope Church, we also welcome all people. For those with special needs, NHC Disability Ministries offers wonderful opportunities for fellowship, worship and serving.

"'Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?' Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" -Matthew 32:36-39

Accessibility

New Hope Church is equipped for those with special needs. Entrances to the church are wheelchair accessible, as are the rest rooms. An elevator is available between the upper and lower level.
