Hope’s Missions Team
And you will say in that day:
“Give thanks to the Lord, call upon his name,
make known his deeds among the peoples,
proclaim that his name is exalted.
Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously;
let this be made known in all the earth.”
Isaiah 12:4-5
One of the main missions of Hope Church is to To Provide Hope in Jesus’ Name Worldwide. In order to accomplish this biblical goal, we help to support those called by God to take the wonderful message of the Gospel of Christ to outposts around the world! We commission them as a church and continue to help support them financially and through prayer. In order to accomplish this support as a church, we have appointed a Missions Team led by the Missions Pastor, and the Team’s Mission is to assist everyone at Hope to actively participate, and as a church, to provide hope in Jesus’ Name in needy nations around the world.
The Team strategy is to:
1. To Educate our people about missions (Knowing),
2. To Encourage our people to support missions (Supporting), and
3. To Expose our people to the reality of missions (Going).
We send Hope members on short-term missions trips in order to let them experience personally the enormous spiritual needs of people around the world and to come alongside missionaries in person, whether in the U.S. or in other nations.

Thank you,
Pastor Jay

SUNDAY WORSHIP | FEBRUARY 26 | 9 AM. Have you ever been in a difficult season where you didn’t know what to do? When it was hard to hear God’s voice or you felt distant or without guidance? How do we walk faithfully with God during times of hardship and despair? This week, Tara Farrell brings a message on the story of Ruth and Naomi and how their boldness and courage brings them through tragedy and suffering – and how God is faithfully working with us and for us no matter what. This week’s message entitled Faith: When God Doesn’t Speak is from Ruth 1:6-18. Can’t join us in person this week? Worship via livestream or view the recording here!
