In September 2016, Pastors Alfred and Jo Ann Holston relocated to Atlanta from the Washington, D.C. area after faithfully serving as Elders at the Greater Mount Calvary Holy Church under the leadership of Bishop Alfred A. Owens and Co-Pastor Susie C. Owens. After relocating, the Holstons began conducting a Discipleship curriculum in their home and at Abiding Community Church in Snellville, Georgia. After much prayer and supplication before the Lord, in the Fall of 2017, the Lord laid it upon Pastor Alfred’s spirit to begin a church ministry that would focus on spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ; teaching and discipling Christians and serving members of the community at their point of need. For over 15 years, both Pastors had already ministered throughout the State of Georgia through Hope XPress, Inc. a certified 501c3 entity. After seeking the Lord for a Vision and Mission for the ministry, through the diligent work of a few dedicated souls, Hope XPress Community Church was founded on the Vision and Mission that guides the work that we do for the Lord. It’s significant to note that it was through Ashley Dixon and Michael Holston that the Lord gave us our name. Renee Bentley worked diligently with the Pastors to assist in developing our strategic and annual plans.
