In our desire to
please God, we will...
PROMOTE THE SUPREMACY AND
SUFFICIENCY OF
GOD
God’s supremacy will be our
loudest message. The message of God’s
supremacy confronts a self-centered
world. It is the glory of God that
animates the universe and is the culmination of
our life and eternity. God is the answer
to man’s deepest longings and need. Psalm
145; Colossians 1:15-18; Ephesians 1:10,
20-23.
PROCLAIM THE TRUTH OF GOD'S
WORD
God’s Word will be the anchor to our ministry.
It will be the centerpiece of the classroom,
boardroom, and pulpit. It will govern our
lives, message, and methods of ministry. 2
Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Timothy 2:15; Hebrews 4:12;
Psalm 119.
PRAYER WITHOUT
CEASING
Prayer will not be an
addendum to our ministry, but a
central element to the life of Hope
Church. We will seek
to be a “house of prayer for all the nations.”
Mark 11:17;
1 Thessalonians 5:17.
PURSUE
RIGHTEOUSNESS
The call to godly living is
for every follower of Christ. It is normal for
the Christian to grow in knowledge and
godliness. The call is for a life separated
from sin and dedicated to God. This is both an
internal and external reality for the Christian
– a pursuit of holiness in word, thought, and
deed. We seek to be people hungry and thirsty
for righteousness and growing in the fruit of
the Spirit. 1 Peter 1:13-16; Matthew 5:6;
Romans 12:1-2; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians
5:3.
PROVIDE PERSONAL
MINISTRY CARE TO INDIVIDUALS
Jesus Christ is the head of the Church and its
members are His body. Christians are intimately
charged to care and support one another. Hope
Church will seek to actively fulfill the “one
another’s” of the New Testament. Acts
20:28; Galatians 5:13-14; 6:1-3; Romans
12:9-21.
PREPARE GOD'S PEOPLE FOR
WORKS OF
SERVICE
A core mission of the
church is to be a training center for Christian
growth and ministry development. As each
Christian is gifted by the Holy Spirit, and
utilizes that gift, the Body of Christ is built
up. Hope Church will equip people to
effectively use their unique gifts to impact
eternity. Ephesians 4:11-13; 1
Corinthians 12:7-11; Romans 12:3-8
PERMEATE OUR COMMUNITY
WITH THE HOPE OF
CHRIST
Christ’s
charge to His followers is to be “salt”
and “light” witnesses to the world. It is
the Christians, armed with the good news
of Christ, who bear the hope for our
sin-sick world. The mandate to “go into
all the world,” which includes our
community, will motivate Hope Church
toward innovative means to saturate the
world with the hope found only in Christ
Jesus. Matthew 5:13-16; Acts 1:8;
Matthew 28:18-20.
