About us

Beacon of Hope began in 2014 by a group of local Christians, enlisting the help of veteran pastor Don Bradley of South Hadley, Massachusetts. Upon leaving in 2018, Assistant Pastor John McCormick and his wife Debbie led the church until another veteran pastor, Greg Bar (Barnstable, Martha's Vineyard, & Greenwich, Connecticut) with his wife, Karin (together pictured at right) began in January of 2020.

God has been gracious taking us successfully through the COVID pandemic, multiple meeting facilities, cultural and political changes, and the annual increase and decrease of the Island population. He has given us solid church leadership, a vision for the future, health and vitality, and the grace to keep Jesus Christ as our Center, the Bible as our Instruction, the Holy Spirit as our Guide, and love as our bond and goal.

Whether you live on the Island or are visiting, we encourage you to come on a Sunday morning or any other gathering, and complete the contact form on this site so we can connect with you.

God bless you in your life and journey!

CCCC

In the Autumn of 2025 Beacon of Hope unanimously voted to become affiliated with the Conservative Congregational Christian Conference (CCCC).

"The Conservative Congregational Christian Conference is a theologically conservative denomination believing strongly in the autonomy of each local church under the headship of Christ...Though we are solidly committed to the basic doctrines of the Christian faith, we allow for diversity in many areas where Christians have tended to disagree. Though our members hold strong biblical convictions, we do not believe that Christians should divide over secondary issues. As an evangelical denomination, in obedience to Jesus Christ, we work together to advance the kingdom of our Lord through evangelism, church planting and missions." (from ccccusa.com)

We look forward to new opportunities for growth and ministry!
