We are a charismatic community church based in South Norfolk, serving the towns of Diss and Harleston and surrounding area. We are members of The Evangelical Alliance, part of the Pioneer Network and a partner church with 24/7 Prayer.

​

Our story began in 1947 when a Christian evangelist came to Diss. A large group of people heard the gospel of Jesus and became Christians. In 1948 they formed an Assemblies of God church and appointed their first pastor.

​

In 1955 the church purchased a property in Mount Street Diss, where meetings continued for the next 30 years. Over those years many changes took place and in 1985 it was decided to establish a new church called Diss Christian Community Church (DC3). There were 29 members in total.

​

The following year the present site in Vinces Road was purchased. Phase 1 of the building was completed within 18 months and the church moved in. Phase 2 of the building, which includes the Sports Hall, was completed in January 1997, with the hope that it would become a central part of the community, somewhere that was welcoming and open to all.

​

Since this time we have met in two locations. This included a congregation in the nearby town of Harleston from 2005 - 2020. Since Covid we now meet all together each Sunday. This is based in our building in Diss. 

​

In October 2017 we became part of the Pioneer Network of Churches and in February 2018 we rebranded as Hope Church.
