Our Mission and Vision
Our purpose is simple, but it drives everything we do: to Know Jesus, Know His People, and to Make Him known to the ends of the earth. Everything at Hope Baptist Church is aimed at fulfilling this goal and pursuing our mission to see our membership become fully mature followers of Jesus Christ by making disciples who make disciples. Ultimately, our vision is to share hope with every person we meet, both here in Lebanon and with the nations.
Our Story in Lebanon, TN
Though we are now known as Hope Baptist Church, we were originally established as West Hills Baptist Church. By God’s providence, we became Hope Baptist Church (HBC), embodying our name as we faithfully moved to and established our current location at 208 Granville Drive in Lebanon, TN. Our journey is a testament to the sovereign guidance of Christ, who is the Head and foundation of our Church.

What We Believe
As a Southern Baptist Church, we are guided by the Word of God. Our entire doctrine and practice is rooted in the Holy Scripture, and we affirm the Baptist Faith & Message 2000 as our Statement of Faith.
We are committed to operating as an autonomous local congregation of baptized believers, governed by our members under the Lordship of Christ. Our biblical leadership structure includes Elders (who focus on prayer, the ministry of the Word, and shepherding) and Deacons (who focus on practical service, caring for temporal needs, widows, widowers, and orphans).
If you are looking to know more about Christ or for a church dedicated to growing deeper in Christ and passionately sharing the gospel, we invite you to join us!
