Founder, Pastor Tuan
In 1993 Pastor Tuan and his wife started the Vietnamese Baptist Mission aiming at fulfilling the physical and spiritual needs of the growing Vietnamese community. With waves of Vietnamese refugees coming to Sacramento, the Vietnamese mission worked closely with organization like World Relief and USCC to help settle Vietnamese new comers. The mission grew and took on the name Vietnamese Hope Baptist Church. Through the years, the church served the community through many free programs like ESL classes, Citizenship classes, Computer classes, Guitar classes, Homework tutoring, school readiness programs, interpretation at government agencies and hospitals. During the period of 1994-2013, we were not homeless, but were under the sponsorship and support of our 3 sister churches: New Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, Fourteenth Avenue Baptist Church, and Laguna Chinese Baptist Church. Realizing the need to be independent, to prepare for the younger generation, and to be more effective at serving the community, Pastor Tuan Phan led the church to build our own church facility. Our church purchased the church land at Elder Creek Rd. in December 2008, and through faith we took the journey to apply for permit, and to start construction in May 2013. We see clearly how God orchestrated the whole construction process from start to finish. He provided people with special skills to help us at each stage of the construction. We appreciate our pastor for his vision and leadership. We appreciate all the people who donated their time, talent, and money to help us build this church facility. On July 23rd, 2014, our church passed all final inspections and can legally occupy. This marked the new chapter in our church history full of hope. God was faithful and is still faithful. We trust that God will help our church grow and be more effective in serving the physical and spiritual need of our community. Pastor Tuan and his family has continued to serve at Vietnamese Hope Baptist Church resided at 6301 Elder Creek Rd ever since.
