Our Dreams
If you could dream a church into existence, what would it look like?
Everything looks better on paper than it is in reality. At the same time, if you aim at nothing, you’re sure to hit it every time! So here at Hope we have put our dream church on paper. Hope is a work in progress-- in fact, we will always be a work in progress until Christ returns! However, we hope this will give you a glimpse of our heart and the passions that fuel our dreams. We invite you to join us in the pursuit of those dreams!
We envision a church that will…
- encourage people to engage in God-focused, heart-felt, creative worship
- passionately seek God and remain dependent upon Him through faith-filled prayer
- develop fully-devoted followers of Christ through the life-changing power of the Word of God in multiple arenas, including one-on-one discipleship, small groups, the worship service, and life-training workshops
- help people find transformation, restoration, and healing (spiritual, emotional, and physical) through the power of the Holy Spirit
- connect people in personal, meaningful relationships through small groups that would exercise the Biblical “one another”
- encourage and equip people to reach their sphere of influence with the life-changing message and power of Jesus Christ
- mobilize people to serve the body & the community through their Spirit-given gifts and passions
- equip people with the Biblical principles and life skills needed to build healthy marriages and families
- help people to take steps to counter balance the frantic busyness of our culture so they have more time to build relationships with others, both inside and outside the church (including their own family)
- help to fulfill the great commission through people who would disciple, mentor, and pour themselves into other believers who would, in turn, do the same with others
- raise up multiplying leaders to build the church locally and globally
