Being part of our team at Hope

We believe Hope Oakville's current and future staff members must be called to serve God and our specific church family.

Above and beyond the day-to-day duties of each staff role, staff members serve alongside the congregation in weekend and weekday ministries to carry out God's plan for our church.

Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.
