A shared purpose.
Welcome to Bristol Hope Assembly! We are a church in Bristol Borough which was founded in 1928 with a rich history of 90 years of empowering people in their relationship with Jesus and proclaiming the gospel. Here at BHA, we are followers of Jesus from various generations and ethnic backgrounds living in unified community with a shared purpose. We are more than a church, we are a family of Believers eagerly expecting the Kingdom of Heaven to be made manifest in our community.
We are passionate in cultivating our relationship and identity with the Full Godhead: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The BHA community believes that all Believers have a role in the Kingdom of God. It is a family where your gifts and talents are appreciated and we are eager for you to learn and for you to also impart your passions in our fellowship.
If you are looking for a church which believes in a family atmosphere, total submission to the Holy Spirit in both Worship and Life, the fullness of the Gospel, strong Biblical Teaching and a place where all believers are sons and daughters who have something special to offer the church and the world, then you have found a family.
