Our Passion…
Here at Community of Hope, we’re passionate about two things…Jesus Christ, and the life-change that happens when people follow him!
Now for over a decade, our church has been passionate about how we can know Jesus and make him known in our world. Over the years, our church has been a “life-laboratory” where each week, we’re seeing genuine transformation take place in the lives of the people God is bringing our way. Much like the Apostle Paul observed when he wrote:
2 Corinthians 5:16-20 (NIV)
16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.
We believe that anything is possible when the Lord becomes the leader of our lives.
As a result of this belief, we have built our church upon God’s promises, which are reflected in our mission statement, and the core values operating behind our fellowship.
These are:
