Crown of Hope International
The world longs for actual, lasting change—something more than a temporary fix. We have discovered that the hope the world seeks and the transformation people deeply need is offered through the person of Jesus Christ. Crown of Hope International aims to share His message in every way, everywhere we go, every day.
Core Objectives
Soul Care for Communities
Soul Care for Communities is expressed through dynamic worship, transformative teaching, compassionate outreach, and evangelism through Fresh Presence Community Church, creating spaces where individuals and families can experience spiritual growth, healing, and authentic community.
Expanding this mission beyond the local church, Crown of Hope International advances its vision through Crown of Hope Ministries (C.R.O.W.N), the itinerant outreach arm committed to “carrying revival over where needed” through faith-centered and community-based gatherings designed to inspire spiritual renewal, moral awakening, and social transformation.
Summit of Urban Leaders (S.O.U.L) further supports this vision as a quarterly gathering of ministry leaders who come together for fellowship, encouragement, leadership development, inspiration, and retreat. These gatherings are designed to refresh, equip, and strengthen leaders for sustainable and impactful service within their communities.

In collaboration with Acts 3 Alliance, a public charity, we are dedicated to addressing community needs through outreach and advocacy.

What We've Been Doing
About Us
Since its founding in 1992, Crown of Hope has actively fulfilled its mission: “Carrying Revival Over Where Needed.” We define revival as a sovereign move of God that sparks spiritual, moral, and social transformation. Our mission is to connect with this Wind wherever it blows, blessing and benefiting all people.
Led by Rev. Dr. Stephen E. Gardner, Crown of Hope has advanced this mission locally and abroad for over three decades. By identifying untapped harvests and establishing ministries tailored to each community, we foster meaningful, lasting change in the lives of individuals and communities.
We do not simply follow the paths of others; instead, we boldly venture where there is no path, allowing the Spirit to guide us as we create new communities of faith and hope, leaving a trail of transformation for others to follow.
Rev. Dr. Stephen E. Gardner
