Go therefore and make disciples of all nations
Matthew 28:19
Hope Church supports missions and missionaries as well as church planting networks. We have intentionally based our support on relationship--knowing those who have a proven track record of fruitfulness and effectiveness. Our Missions focus starts first in our city, then to our region, and then to the nations of the world. We also partner with disaster relief organizations and other churches and ministries because it raises our effectiveness in fulfilling our mission.
