Mark and Cher VanDerVeer are the Leaders of The Hope Community and have lead here since 1997. They are community focused and engaged with Port Macquarie and the region in multiple and significant ways. Their leadership and hospitality have seen The Hope Community flourish and continue to grow.

We’ve been working in our community since 1985, firstly as a faith community and then branching out in 1997, to work in and with our Port Macquarie and surrounding local communities.

Hope Shop, a well known not-for-profit charity, with a team of 160 volunteers and referrals coming from over 15 local welfare organisations, began on the 5th of August 2009.

Now in 2020, The Hope Community has been born of the synergy of Honour Church and Hope Shop to take hope into the future, continuing to make a difference in the lives of individuals of our community.

We are serving in the communities of
Port Macquarie, Lake Cathie and
North Haven.
