What We Believe
We are a Reformed Christian church grounded in historic Christian faith.
We believe:
The Bible is God’s Word and our guide for faith and life
Salvation is by grace alone, through faith in Jesus Christ
God calls us to love Him, love one another, and serve our neighbours
The church is a community where imperfect people grow together under God’s grace
Christians believe that God meets us in our brokenness through Jesus, offering forgiveness, hope, and new life by grace
If you are exploring faith or visiting a church for the first time, we want you to know that you are welcome here. Below is a brief summary of who we are and what we believe
The Church
-
We are a multi-ethnic missional church aligned with the reformed tradition, called by God, to preach the gospel, and committed to welcoming, gathering, teaching, and disciple so that individuals and society may find hearing, transforming, and love through God’s grace the Word.
-
We strive to be a visible, inviting, welcoming community that is able to encourage individuals, strengthen relationships, bring change, creating a sense of belonging that enables unity, healing, and guidance in an exciting, creative, and Christ-centered way.
-
As Christians, we believe that “... if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” 2 Corinthians 5:17. This means that it is the Holy Spirit operates this transformation in our lives, and God is restoring his image in us, as Paul explains, “And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.” 2 Corinthians 3:18. We are a church that is not made by perfect people but by sinners who are being transformed by the grace of God and His Word.
-
The Protestant Reformation that swept Europe in 1517 created a branch in Christianity called “Protestantism” and the formation of different protestant branches such as Reformed, Presbyterian, Huguenots, and Puritans. The Protestant Reformation reaffirmed the certainty and assurance that we are saved by faith and that we live by faith entrusted with the grace of God and the sacrifice of Jesus. This sacrifice paid for our sins, absolved us from the eternal damnation and wrath of the Lord, and redeemed us completely. Therefore, the people of God live by faith and not by the things that are seen.
Being aligned with the Reformed tradition also means that we affirm specific statements of belief called Creeds and Confessions and Standards of Unity. These beliefs and standards of unity help us to be faithful to the Scriptures. However, it is also essential to understand that the Spirit of Reformation is also summarized by the motto: “Reformed Church always reforming”. It means that besides keeping our beliefs, Creeds, and Standard of Unity, we also need to find means to communicate God’s Word to contemporary society.

Pastor Jose Garreton
Greetings and welcome!
I'm Rev. Jose Garreton, and I am thrilled to extend an invitation to you to join us at New Hope Reformed Church.
Here, we're more than just a community; we're a family walking together in faith and service. At New Hope, everyone is welcome to explore a personal relationship with God, rather than simply practicing religion.
With a background in engineering and project management, I've followed a deep calling to ministry—a journey marked by God's guiding hand. Starting with a church plant in Rexdale/Malton, I've witnessed lives transformed through faith.
As the senior Pastor of New Hope Reformed Church today, I continue to lead with a passion for spiritual growth and community impact. Personally, I find joy in studying subjects like history, calculus, astronomy, theology, and counseling, and I love gathering with friends for a barbecue.
So please, come and join us! Discover a place where you can grow spiritually, find family, receive support, and make a meaningful difference in our community. Together, let's embark on a journey of faith and fellowship. Welcome to New Hope Reformed Church!
