New Hope Missionary Baptist Church

Organized in 1901 as an out-growth of the Union Baptist Church, New Hope has now stood and served the Springfield, IL Community and Vacinity for 111 years. By the grace of God, we have come a long way. Serving faithfully under the leadership of Pastor Willie J. Crawford, along with First Lady Shirley A. Crawford. They have been dedicated to leading the NHMBC Family for the past 25 years. New Hope is a love-family church and we believe in "Keeping Hope Alive!"

Our church motto in which we stand up on says:
We're gonna do it the Bible's way
The Bible's way is Gods way
And thats got to be the right way
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight
Oh Lord, my strength and my redeemer
Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord.
Praise Ye The Lord!
