Hope International Church

This church has been a huge blessing to me since I moved to Watertown in 2005. If you want to experience the love of Jesus in a tangible way the way I did when my family was struggling with ongoing health issues, this is the place for you! If you want solid teaching that does not compromise on the Bible's truth or relevance in a changing culture, this is the place for you!

This is an excellent Bible-believing Evangelical Free church which seeks to live out its faith daily. We seek to make disciples for Jesus here and around the world. It has offered free English classes to immigrants for decades, helps the poor in the area, and ministers to Native Americans in South Dakota in one of the poorest parts of the country. The pastor has worked at a psychiatric hospital in the past and has helped out there. If you're looking for a church committed to living for Jesus, come check us out.

I attended this Church a decade ago. I found out the hard way that the members of this Church are not very friendly to people with mental disabilities who are not able to work. As soon as my poor verbal skills due to my autistic spectrum disorder became apparent to the people of this Church they stopped talking to me. They shunned me. And when the snobby members of this Church held social events I was the only one who didn't get invited because of my mental problems. Also a former member of this Church named Lyn Buckley told me that some of the women of the Church were saying disrespectful things about me behind my back. Not very Christian. What would Jesus think. Someday all the members of this Church are going to have to answer to God about the appalling way they treated a poor mentally disabled woman.
