Living Hope Community Church Opening Doylestown Campus In March

DOYLESTOWN, PA — Living Hope Community Church in Dublin will celebrate the grand opening of its Doylestown Borough campus in March at 311 West State Street.

The church, formerly the First Baptist Church of Doylestown, will open as Living Hope - Doylestown Campus on March 5 with the first Sunday services scheduled to take place at 9:30 and 11 a.m.

"We can't wait to turn on the lights again in this historic Doylestown church. We look forward to connecting with the community in meaningful ways as another neighbor on State Street. Our new Doylestown pastor, Titus Buck, a resident of our community, has both ministry and corporate
experience that makes him a great fit for this new role. We appreciate the rich heritage of the church and the important role Doylestown has as our county seat. We can't wait to open. We’re saving you a seat," said Pastor Eugene Miller.

After several years of discussion and prayer, in March 2022 the congregations of Living Hope Community Church and the former First Baptist Church of Doylestown voted to join together as one church in two locations.

"One church in two locations" is the vision behind Living Hope’s partnership with First Baptist to rebirth the former church as the second campus of Living Hope Community Church and to spread the hope of Christ within the Doylestown community.

Since the affirmation by the congregations, the Doylestown campus has been undergoing a multi-phase construction process, including a $1.75 million full renovation of the auditorium (sanctuary), the construction of a café, and the remodel of the main lobby spaces. These upgrades are being done with the intent of creating welcoming, relational environments for the purpose of discipleship.

Living Hope’s ‘Ripple of Hope Campaign’ has raised more than 80 percent of the funds needed for the current phase of construction with the goal of completing the project without any debt.

Buck recently joined the Living Hope staff in 2022 and will be the new pastor at the Doylestown campus.

"I’m thrilled to be joining the Living Hope team as pastor of the new Living Hope Doylestown campus," said Pastor Buck. "I would like to welcome all who are seeking or searching to come and experience a warm welcome and to encounter a message centered on the hope we have through Jesus Christ.”

Upon the grand opening of the Doylestown location, the two campuses will have the same name, Living Hope Community Church, but will be differentiated by their geographical location, Living Hope Community Church - Dublin Campus and Living Hope Community Church - Doylestown Campus.

Living Hope Community Church started in a local Bucks County barn in 1997 and then met in a school gymnasium for 16 years before finally opening its first campus in Dublin on December 22, 2013. The church’s mission is to spread the Living Hope of Christ by making disciples of all nations. Living Hope lives out its mission through a model of Intentional Discipleship in Relational Environments with a Missional Mindset. The church currently has upwards of 1,500 guests in person and online and is excited to see God’s work within their two campuses, the surrounding community, and around the world.
