Welcome to Hope Fellowship!
Bienvenidos!
UPDATE ON HUNGER CRISIS HELP $8,000 Since April 2020 we've been able to distribute $8,000 in food to hungry families. That's because of you and your generous hearts!!! This thing is going to go on for several more weeks or months. With no tourist planes coming in to Guanacaste, the thousands of jobs that depend on that have ended. Families are turning to churches for help because Costa Rica does not have assistance programs. We are seeking cash donations for getting food bags out to families who are in desperate need. Please see our DONATE NOW page to make a tax deductible donation. We have also teamed with Luperon for prepared bags of food for hungry families. If you are in Costa Rica stop by Luperon and buy a prepacked donation bag called a "Help Pack" - ask them to send it directly to Hope Fellowship. The costs are c13.021 or c21.710 or c37.374 you choose! Hope Fellowship will deliver it to our families with the greater needs. More information: 8726-1748 or 2670-0421 or Whatsapp 8712-9523. Thank you! #myhopeisreal |

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.
