The Vision

Legacy is an ongoing church-wide initiative to increase our faith, enlarge our hearts, and open space to continue reaching people and providing real hope for Eastern North Carolina and beyond. The expansion need is $2M and every contribution matters. Together, we can leave a legacy that will impact generations!

The Legacy vision flows out of the vision we have had since we first started at Cleveland Elementary School in 1998 which is to provide Real Hope for Real People in a Real World. It’s all about life change! God hasn’t called us to just do church services and church programs – He’s called us to make a difference! Our community and region look different because HopeFront Church is here.

Buildings don’t reach people, people reach people. Buildings are simply a tool to fulfill what God has called us to do. But tools are important! Buildings facilitate the presence and the power of the Holy Spirit. They provide environments for people to get connected, to live out their purpose, and most importantly a place where hurting people can find hope!

We pray you will go all in as we pursue what God has called us to do. The generations coming behind us are counting on it. Together, we can change the world!

The 4 Focuses

Children & Students

COMPLETED

On August 23rd, 2026 we celebrated the completion of our Children and Students phase with a ribbon cutting ceremony in our lobby
By updating our children and students areas, we have:
  • Created a more comfortable experience for our families and an even more welcoming space for our guests.
  • Made renovations in the original church building (2001) to make more space for classrooms for HopeFront Kids and HopeFront Youth to use for Sunday Morning Kids Ministry, monthly YTH nights, small groups, and other events.

Celebration

IN PROGRESS

April 19th, 2026 - First Weekend with new sound system
With the goal of helping more people encounter and know God, we plan to enhance our Sunday morning experience.

By remodeling our Worship Center we will:
  • Create strategic space with seating changes
  • Upgrade our stage structure, sound, lighting, and video equipment to better serve the needs of services and events.
  • Make updates to our overall stage design infrastructure

Community Space

IN PROGRESS

June 21st, 2026 - Permanent Guest Services Area
Through updating our community spaces, we desire to help create meaningful connections and fellowship.

Specifically we plan to:
  • Refresh the lobby and hallway environments
  • Make upgrades to the Cafe and staff offices

Campuses

IN PROGRESS

As of September 2026 - 1,242 Churches Planted through ARC
Our heart is to reach hurting people and help them find hope - not only in Johnston County, but throughout our state. By extending our reach and developing campuses in Eastern North Carolina, we believe we will be creating even greater potential for reaching those that are distant from God.

HopeFront Church is a part of the Association of Related Churches (ARC) and a portion of your giving goes towards planting life-giving churches around the world!
