Rooted in Scripture, Led by the Spirit
Sound doctrine. Real accountability. Ministry built for the whole Body, not just the platform.
No Church Leads Itself
New Hope Cathedral has always operated under spiritual accountability — not because the law requires it, but because Scripture demands it. Leadership answerable to no one is leadership that eventually drifts.
The Father's House Ministry
New Hope came under the spiritual covering of Bishop Eddie L. Long and The Father's House Ministry in December 2002. Bishop Leaphart-Mack served as an Ambassador within that relationship, a mentorship that continued until Bishop Long's death.
Kingdom International Consortium
Bishop Leaphart-Mack now serves as Assistant Presiding Bishop — also called Vice-Presiding Bishop — within the Kingdom International Consortium, under Presiding Primate Bishop Eric Garnes. That relationship keeps New Hope's leadership connected to a wider body of accountability beyond our own walls.
Every Gift, One Mission
We don't believe ministry belongs to a single person on a platform. Scripture describes a Body with many parts, each doing what only it can do — and New Hope is structured to reflect that.
Pastoral Care
Shepherding the congregation through everyday life — grief, crisis, celebration, and everything in between.
Prophetic Ministry
Prophets and prophetesses who speak direction and clarity into the church, always under pastoral oversight.
Teaching
Ministers and teachers who build biblical literacy through Sunday services and Wednesday Bible study.
Evangelism
Evangelists who carry the New Hope message beyond the campus and into the surrounding community.
Diaconal Service
Deacons who serve the practical, hands-on needs of the church so worship and outreach can run without friction.
These gifts don't compete with each other — they cooperate, all under one roof, all pointed at one vision: New Hope, being the place where God dwells.
