Point Hope United Methodist Church is the only Methodist church in the northern Mount Pleasant area. Our church exists so that we may
connect spiritually with the community and provide a church home for Mount Pleasant citizens. We offer Sunday school, child care and
children services to our youngest members. In recent months, Point Hope United Methodist Church received the Bishop's Five-Star Award for Excellence and the Second Mile Advance Special Ministries Award.
Our primary goal is to reach the people of the northern Mount Pleasant community to meet their spiritual needs and
incorporate them into a fellowship of faithful disciples and teach them to become
loving caregivers themselves.
