Who We Are

Hope Christian Fellowship is a dynamic, Bible-believing church family impacting Warrenton and the surrounding communities of northern Virginia. We're people just like you, enjoying life's journey, learning and growing, and discovering how the life-changing love of God impacts us every day. At Hope, we don't care where people come from, how they dress, how much money they have, or anything like that. We just care about people, because every one of us matters to God.

If you are looking for a place to belong, learn, and serve, come and see what God might have for you at Hope!

Our History

Hope Christian Fellowship began with a desire to invest God's blessings back into our community so that people could discover his love and grace.

Our church began when God planted the idea in the minds of a group of folks worshiping at Warrenton Bible Fellowship, another terrific church in our community. After a year of prayer, brainstorming, and planning, and with the blessing and support of WBF, Hope opened its doors to the community in October 2005 under the leadership of our founding pastor, Joe Warring.

The Lord has blessed us with some incredible people, and we've enjoyed the spiritual adventure together. In April 2007, Dr. Scott Heine took the reins as our Senior Pastor. As Hope continues forward, we're holding tight to God's guidance and exploring opportunities to serve our community with his love.

Our Pastor

Dr. Scott Heine was born and raised in the suburbs of the San Francisco Bay Area. He married Margo in 1987, and they homeschool their three teenage children — Benjamin, Elizabeth, & Rebecca . They’ve also got a very spoiled English Springer Spaniel named Blossom. Scott & Margo are both self-confessed Starbucks addicts. (“Half-caf triple grande three-pump sugar-free vanilla no-foam with nutmeg latte, please!”)

Scott completed his B.A. in Biblical Studies at Biola University in Los Angeles, and his M.Div. and D.Min. at Trinity International University in Chicago. Scott has enjoyed the privilege of serving churches in California, Illinois, Nebraska, and Arizona before settling in with us at Hope and making Virginia his home.

Scott enjoys camping, playing games, reading, movies, and hanging out with friends. He loves the Lord passionately, and is eager to pass on his enthusiasm to others.

  • Pastor Scott HeineBest Vacation Ever: 11 days at Disneyworld with kids, parents, in-laws, etc. We had a blast!
  • Favorite Music: I really love Jazz (especially a good sax or clarinet solo) or the driving percussion of classic Rock, though variety is the spice of life. My car radio might be on Contemporary Christian, Easy Listening, Oldies, or Classic depending on my mood.
  • Favorite Book: Way too hard to pick just one, but probably almost anything by C.S. Lewis. I also like novels by Lawhead or Grisham.
  • Favorite Movie: Rudy (“best... movie... ever!”)
  • Favorite Food: Margo’s home-made chicken pot pie. Mmmmm...
  • One experience I want to have before I die: I would love to visit Israel for an extended tour.
  • Something most people don’t know about me: I collected comic books as a kid. Green Lantern was my favorite. (Stop by the office some time and I’ll show you the Green Lantern action figure my kids bought me for my birthday...)
