Lift up your community with compassion and care

Join us after church services for our Compassion Ministry Partner Event, an opportunity to learn about various ministries that embody 1 John 3:18: “let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.” This event will showcase organizations committed to sharing God’s love through practical support and the transformative power of the Gospel. Representatives from each ministry will be available to discuss their mission, ways they impact our local and global communities, and how you can get involved. Whether you are interested in supporting vulnerable populations or providing practical help to those in need, this event offers numerous ways to serve.

Do you find yourself wanting to take action when disaster strikes, but you don’t quite know where to start? Samaritans Purse has long responded to crises with physical aid and a message of spiritual hope. When disaster strikes in our community or around the world it’s important that there are trained individuals who are ready to help and willing to go. On January 11, Samaritans Purse will be holding their Disaster Relief evening here at Hope where they will share stories from the frontlines of disaster response and medical missions.
