In 2005, the church renamed itself HopePointe Anglican Church—Hope because "[w]e want to reach as many people as we can, spreading God's word of hope, peace and love," Lowenfield has said,[5] and Pointe with an "e" "to reflect ancient Anglican roots and to remain in keeping with the refined ethos of The Woodlands area," according to a news report[3]—and in 2008 moved from rented space into a modern church facility designed for a contemporary worship style.

"[8] In early 2012, a majority of AMIA congregations elected to remain canonically in the Rwandan church and pursue full membership in the ACNA, forming PEARUSA as an interim step.

“We might worship differently on some things, but we’re called to be the church together.”[10] Since the diocese was formed, it has grown from 12 to 16 congregations as of 2021, with membership of more than 2,200 and average Sunday attendance of nearly 1,400.
