MISSION Opportunities
Nothing fuels compassion and generosity like face to face missions. In the faces of those who are less fortunate we see the grace of God and the best of who we are. God calls us to share the light of Jesus with others by meeting real needs – here, there, and everywhere! Find out more below, contact the leader, and get involved.
Missions
Weekend Snackpack
Hope Church illustrates God’s love to 90+ children in the community every week through our Weekend SnackPack Program.

Summer Lunch
Hope Church illustrates God’s love to children over the summer break months by providing and delivering lunches daily M-F. We deliver the lunches to families in needy communities.

Christmas for Cameroon
Hope Church illustrates God in the African country of Cameroon. We offer toys and hygiene products to children who are living in orphanages. Many of these children either have never received a gift or only receive a gift at Christmas when we bring them. Emmanuel and Evodia Fonji, natives of Cameroon, lead this effort each year. The primary giving efforts happens with our Christmas in July campaign and the gifts are delivered in December through a small mission team.
Hands of Hope
Hands of Hope is a local, hands-on, mission weekend. Hope Church develops relationships with local families for the purpose of illustrating God’s love. We seek to improve the lives of others by helping with home function and safety improvements. Projects range from yard clean-up to painting to small construction jobs. HOH is typically scheduled for the end of May or first of June. Check out www.placeofhope.org/events to find out more information.
LIVE2540
LIVE2540, is based on the verse, Matthew 25:40, where Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!” They are committed to the restoration of hope and health for the abused and abandoned, the hungry and the sick. Also, to create a climate where the Holy Spirit abides, compassion flows freely and in turn the Glory of God is revealed.
You can go to their website www.bestshirtonearth.com to find out more about LIVE2540 or to support their mission by purchasing a Best Shirt On Earth.
New Opportunies
As Hope Church grows we intend to also grow the profile or mission opportunities. We believe it is important for believers in Christ to meet practical needs in the lives of the most needy among us. God has called us to make difference here there and everywhere. Every new mission opportunity is vetted by the Hope Church Board and aligns with the mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ.
Fundraising Application
We recognize that from season to season there is a need for funding requests beyond general giving.
When this occurs, the fundraising event require a written application to be approved by a staff member and by vote of the Finance Team at the next scheduled gathering.
