The Hope Community Church of Fleetwood, Pennsylvania, USA, began in 1989 as an outreach of the Reading branch of the Hopewell Network of Churches. Initially, families met in homes, then for two years in the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Fleetwood. In 1992 it moved to the former Fleetwood Community Building on West Arch Street. About 2002 the congregation moved to its own building on Lobachsville Road.

In 2022 the congregation was part of the Atlantic Coast Conference of Mennonite Church USA. The ministers were Kevin and Nan Kanagy.
