New Hope Baptist Church is a Christian mission congregation located at Bernhardstraat 18 in San Nicolas, Aruba. It operates under the ministry of Iglesia Bautista Berea de Aruba and partners with Lighthouse Baptist Mission in Oranjestad. The church emphasizes bilingual worship and community outreach on Aruba’s southern coast.

Founded in 2022 as one of two mission churches established by Iglesia Bautista Berea, New Hope Baptist Church was created to extend Berea’s Spanish-speaking ministry into the bilingual community of San Nicolas. Its stated mission is to glorify God, preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and demonstrate love through service, prayer, and fellowship.

The church is overseen by Pastor Matthew Shields, who also leads Berea Baptist Church and Lighthouse Baptist Mission. Services at New Hope are conducted in both English and Spanish, with gatherings on Sunday and Tuesday evenings. Worship emphasizes Biblical teaching, personal faith, and the practice of Christian ordinances such as baptism and the Lord’s Supper.

New Hope Baptist Church seeks to strengthen family and faith ties within San Nicolas through visitation, prayer, and small-group study. The congregation positions itself as a welcoming environment for residents and visitors interested in learning about Christianity or joining a faith-based community in Aruba.

As a mission of Iglesia Bautista Berea, the church shares its parent ministry’s goal of planting additional Baptist congregations on the island and abroad. Together, the affiliated churches function under the shared slogan “Preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to Aruba and the world.”
