The leadership of New Hope Missionary Baptist Church—North Charleston faithfully oversees the spiritual welfare of the entire congregation. Each Sunday, Reverend Mack A. Gadsden, Sr. delivers sound, practical teachings from the Word of God that inspire growth and strengthen faith.
Our ministry team continues to expand its knowledge through theological and pastoral training at the regional, state, and national levels. This commitment equips us to go forth with wisdom, compassion, and a renewed desire to serve God’s people.
