Transforming lives through God’s love

About Us

Have you ever felt that church can be boring? Reverend Elizabeth Sullivan brings energy and humor to her messages with sermon series revolving around modern themes such as finding God’s messages in secular movies, the stories behind the songs we sing, and famous people with stories about their faith in God. One thing that is fairly unique to our area is having a female in the role of pastor.

“It was God’s idea, not mine. Over the years I have come to understand that the Holy Spirit gifts people for leadership within the church and this gifting often happens to the people that we least expect. The Bible is full of examples like this and I am one of the least of these - for sure. For me it is not so much about being Pastor Elizabeth or Reverend Sullivan, it is about knowing that whatever title I might hold, the most significant title I have is Child of God,” says Sullivan.

Worship

Sundays 9:30

Located in the Park West neighborhood, Point Hope offers a worship experience for everyone. On Sundays at 9:30 a.m. we have a blended service with a choir and hymns, contemporary favorites with our praise team, and kid’s Sunday school for ages 4k-5th. We also have a nursery each Sunday.

In 2022, Point Hope celebrated 20 years. What started as a small church around a kitchen table, then meeting at a local elementary school, Point Hope moved to its current location (3404 Turgot Lane behind the Sunshine House) in 2009. In recent years, the church has experienced a facelift to its building and has grown to approximately 200 members and constituents. Point Hope is a Global Methodist congregation.

Serve

Each month, Point Hope collects nonperishable and sometimes fresh foods to more than 90 families and individuals in the Awendaw area at the Ocean Grove Pantry. Please check your program or the Compass for items we are currently collecting. We also serve during the winter months at the Holy City Missions cold night shelter.

 

Connect

We offer Connection Groups for everyone! Please go to pointhopechurch.org/connect for a list of groups. For more information about joining or leading a group, reach out to Connection Group Coordinator Lynn Jennette.


 

Fearfully and
wonderfully made.

At Point Hope, we strive to ensure that children of all ages have an opportunity to experience God’s love and grow as individuals both spiritually and as a contributing part of our congregation.

FOR GOD’s GLORY

Welcome
to hope.

Point Hope was established in 2002 in response to the population growth of northern Mount Pleasant.

Led by Rev. Elizabeth Sullivan, our doors are always open to anyone seeking a place to worship, connect and serve. We strive to create a warm and inviting environment at Point Hope and that everyone who walks through our doors feels God’s presence.

Point Hope is a place where individuals and families can discover the love of God, the grace of Jesus Christ and the presence of the Holy Spirit.
