About Us
After receiving a clear revelation from God, Arelious Walker founded the
True Hope church on May 12th, 1968. With four members strong, Pastor
and First Lady Walker were committed to fulfill the will of God. Over
the years the ministry quickly grew, with the capacity increasing to
175. After much prayer, fasting and fund raising; Pastor Walker and the
True Hope Church family were finally able to purchase their first piece
of land. In 1975 they were blessed by God to pay cash for the property
of 950 Gilman Ave. The True Hope family was blessed to open the doors of
their brand new church edifice in August of 1978. While membership
continued to grow and the ministry strived, God continued to bless
tremendously. Because Pastor & First Lady Walker obeyed The Lord, HE
increasingly fulfilled every visionary promise as it was, for True
Hope. In 2002 True Hope Church was able to expand and add an additional
30,000 sq feet, to house the rapid increase in membership.
