What We Believe

REDEEMED AND

RECONCILED

The mission of Hope Ministries is to glorify God by making disciples through the gospel of Jesus Christ. God’s mission and the mission of the church are inseparably linked. If God’s mission is to be glorified through the redemption and reconciliation of a people, the Church’s mission must orient around the glory of God and seek to glorify God through redemption and reconciliation.

EMPOWERED

TRANSFORMATION

Our vision is to be a church of grace-filled people, empowered for community transformation and new church formation, so that the Gospel is faithfully transferred from person to person and generation to generation. As Jesus Christ works in and through us to fulfill our mission and pursue our vision, we expect to see results in three areas: Community Transformation,

Next Generation Empowerment.

SACRED

SPACE

The Gospel is ultimately about humanity being restored to God’s community. Only through practicing community will individuals grow fully in the grace and knowledge to be found in Jesus. Furthermore, it is through community that a fragmented world can best witness the power of the Gospel and the nature of God’s work. As a culture of confession, transformation, friendship, forgiveness, justice, power, love springs up in the lives of normal people, those who don’t know Christ will be compelled to ask: "what is happening?"


MISSIONAL

COMMUNITY

Connect (or "Missional") Groups are an essential part of our church, as they provide a place where deeper fellowship and better support for one another can take place. Considering that the early church worshiped in large settings - in the synagogues - as well as in homes, we unite together similarly in order to be in deeper fellowship with God and one another. We are reconciled to God and also to each other. This "each other" is called Church.
