About Us
There are three foundational statements that guide our church: our purpose, mission and vision. In these statements, you find a distillation of the biblical reasons for why Hope exists as an organization, what we strive to do every day, and what we hope to become and accomplish for God’s glory.
PURPOSE - To glorify God, and enjoy Him.
MISSION - To bring transformation to individuals and communities, local and abroad, through the person of Jesus and His life-changing message.
VISION - To become a vibrant church that loves God and His people, united under the cause of Christ - overflowing with compassion for all of creation, planting communities of healing and restoration near and far, and harvesting worship for the everlasting kingdom of God.
In addition to these long-term goals, we believe that God desires certain steps from us now – for our ministry to have a short-term focus that will get us closer to achieving our purpose, mission and vision, which is found in our theme.
THEME - Surrendered Lives, Serving the Kingdom.
Our current theme is centered around two concepts that are often considered the antithesis of what a "modern individual" should be striving for: letting go of control and selflessness. Everywhere we turn, we are bombarded with messages to get it together and take hold of your life, to plan your career and financial goals for the next 5-10 years, and to watch out for your own interests. And while these messages are not inherently wrong, when mixed with the sins of the world and the sins in our hearts, the resulting synthesis often cripples us. It makes us more self-serving and it incapacitates our ability to experience the joy that God intended for us.
We at Hope firmly believe the Holy Spirit is challenging our church ministry right now to surrender our lives and start serving His Kingdom above anything else in this world so that we may bring Him Glory and fullness to our lives.
