Gathering & Equipping in West Ocala, FL
In May 2023, God called the Gilman family to West Marion County to begin the work of planting Hope Fellowship P.C.A. Since that time, we have seen the Lord give the growth as we have grown into a missionary team of 25 adults and 16 children who desire to see Hope Fellowship P.C.A. became “a covenant community that joyfully worships together, loves God’s Word, and graciously reaches the lost in West Marion County and through it, the World.”
Since our team began praying over a decade ago, God has guided this work for a time such as this. Recently, Ocala has become the #1 fastest growing city in Florida, with over 1,000 people a day moving to the state. What was once thousands of acres of ranch land are giving rise to thousands of new homes and a handful of new schools currently under construction. Our strategic location is at the doorstep of a dozen retirement communities and 3 miles from our local high school, West Port. Since 2020, many of our neighbors have moved to this area from other states and are in search of solid, biblical preaching, rich community and missional living centered around Jesus Christ.
