A ministry is born
Led by the Spirit of God, The Mission of Hope began as a Bible study founded by the Honorable Carol E. Lewis. It grew into a spiritual warfare prayer group praying for the city, state, nation, and world.
Faith · Hope · Love
A place to encounter God, grow in His Word, and find hope.
A word-based, non-denominational church guided by the Holy Spirit and committed to sharing the healing, freeing love of Jesus Christ.

Our Story
A legacy of faith since 1996.
The Mission of Hope began as a Bible study and grew through prayer, faithful leadership, and a commitment to God’s Word.
Growing in worship
Regular worship began at 3906 Fairfax Road, followed by seasons at 5132 Chalgrove Avenue and 4259 Park Heights Avenue. In December 2003, the church moved to its present home on West Belvedere Avenue.
Leadership continues
Rev. Anthony L. Lewis was promoted to Pastor, while founder Carol E. Lewis was elevated to Overseer. Her persistent faith and love for Christ left an enduring spiritual legacy.
Faithful through every season
Following Overseer Lewis’s homegoing in 2008, Pastor Lewis and First Lady Debora Lewis remained steadfast. In 2011, the ministry received renewed confirmation to continue its calling. Pastor Lewis was ordained Elder on June 10, 2019.
Serving together
On October 26, 2019, Minister Scarlette Lewis was called to Elder and Elder Anthony Lewis was elevated to Overseer. In November 2022, Elder Scarlette was appointed Assistant Pastor. Together, the church continues doing what God has called it to do.
Faithful guidance and covering
Overseer Anthony L. Lewis gratefully acknowledges his spiritual father, Bishop Rudolph McLaughlin, and Bishop McLaughlin’s lovely wife, Elder Gwen, for their spiritual guidance, love, and faithful connection to the ministry.
With Heartfelt Gratitude
A special dedication
God bless you to our faithful Sister Carla and to my youngest born, Isaiah, for their unwavering support of this ministry.
