With God is a tribute film honoring the steadfast faithfulness of God throughout 90 years of New Hope Baptist Church's history as a cornerstone in the Grand Rapids community. This story unfolds through the voices of three individuals representing the past, present, and future, each offering a unique perspective on the church's journey and the unwavering presence of God in their lives. Through these testimonies, With God celebrates a legacy of faith, resilience, and community, capturing the profound impact of God’s hand on generations who have called New Hope their spiritual home.

Project objective

New Hope Baptist Church sought to produce a commemorative film to honor 90 years of faith, resilience, and community. The objective was to present the congregation with a broader perspective on their journey—a story that celebrates how they’ve grown from their humble beginnings to the thriving community they are today. This film serves as a gift of reflection and inspiration, revealing a legacy of God’s faithfulness that may not always be visible but has continually shaped who they are.

The completed film debuted at New Hope’s annual gala, “Sneaker Ball,” and was shown again during the worship service for their 90th-anniversary celebration.
