About Hope Church
-
TWO CONGREGATIONS, ONE VISION
Hope is one church with two congregations. Our congregations enrich each other by sharing knowledge, resources, creativity, leadership, and burdens. Learning from one another’s successes and failures, and partnering together to see the gospel move forward in our city, we believe we are better together.
Some things we think are important
We don’t want to hide the fact that we are broken and messed up people. Our specific issues may differ: But we have this in common: we have come to discover that though we are more of a mess than we could ever imagine, we are more loved by Christ than we ever dared to hope. This good news is changing our lives.
All of Life
God is the creator and redeemer of all things. Therefore, we seek to live every aspect of our life, including our vocation, education, family, care for the earth, life in the neighborhood, and cultural engagement in a way that honors Jesus and reflects his good will for life.
We love this city and advocate for organizations, through both financial and volunteer involvement, that are doing the difficult work of providing aid and assistance to those who need it most. We champion local businesses and non-profits who make our city a better place.
The Mind
We are not content with pat answers to the most complex questions of human existence. Together we are seeking to bring life’s biggest questions into dialogue with the best biblical and theological reflection.
Better Together
Followers of Jesus who share a common dream for our city and world are better together. This conviction is the rationale behind our organizational structure as one church, many congregations and also leads us to forge partnerships with other churches and non-profits who are seeking to spread the restorative power of the gospel in our city.
