Welcome to Hope Fellowship!
Bienvenidos!
We are a non-denominational church located in Playas del Coco, Costa Rica. Our motto is “Come as you are” and that means that we offer a church environment for both those who are new to Christ, and the more experienced church attendee.
Since we are in a town with a tourist driven economy, we want you to know that you can consider us your church home away from home! Whether you live here or while you’re on vacation, drop in, hug a few people and just hang out with your fellow Christians! We are also known as a "Christian Community in Action"! Volunteers for our various ministry programs are always welcome. See our Outreach Pages for various opportunities to serve.

MEET OUR PASTOR
PASTOR HENRY GUTIERREZ
Pastor Henry Gutierrez was born in San Jose, Costa Rica. He is married to Eugenia Alpizar and they have three children, Jorge, Raquel and Jose David.
When Henry was 22 years old he began attending a small 20-member congregation. Through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, he came to Christ and grew in knowledge, faith and grace.
Henry’s growing faith and passion for the church lead him to serve as a church elder and as youth pastor alongside his wife, Eugenia.
In 2000, Henry and Eugenia, both fluently bilingual, moved to Guanacaste where they worked in tourism and served as Co-Pastors for Cristo Centro Church in Liberia. During this time both Henry and Eugenia studied Theology and were ordained as Pastors by the Alianza Evangelica Nacional.
Hope Fellowship invited Henry to join them in worship in 2010. At that time Hope Fellowship was an English speaking church devoted to serving the Coco Beach community, but they were without a Pastor.
Henry and Eugenia joined Hope Fellowship’s leadership and on January 1st, 2012 Henry was ordained as the Pastor for Hope Fellowship.
Pastor Henry feels certain that the Lord has placed Hope Fellowship in the perfect community to fulfill God’s vision. He has a deep love for Guanacaste and is eager to share the love of Jesus with residents and visitors alike; as well as lending a hand to other pastors in other small churches.
Pastor Henry, his wife, the church leadership and many other collaborators have realized the vision and mission for Hope Fellowship through different community projects and ministries. Hope Fellowship’s outreach is not limited to the Playas Del Coco area. They also have a strong desire to support churches and ministries in other communities throughout Guanacaste.
