By God’s grace, we pray that HopeUC will always be a body, a church, a family and a home that is defined by God’s presence. Worshipful, missional, prayerful, generational, creative, generous, thankful, authentic and completely passionate about people responding to the message of salvation. We pray that we will always reflect through every part of our lives, that HOPE is a person, and His name is Jesus.
HopeUC is a church where everyone’s welcome. There is a place for you here. When we come together, we are a diverse, beautiful expression of God’s church, gathering around His love, His presence, His word, and His purpose for our lives. Together, we are on a great faith adventure.
OUR VALUES
The Word is our Foundation
2 Timothy 3:16 TPT
God has transmitted his very substance into every Scripture, for it is God-breathed. It will empower you by its instruction and correction, giving you the strength to take the right direction and lead you deeper into the path of godliness.
Worship is our Honour
Psalm 29:2 NLT
Honor the Lord for the glory of his name. Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.
Active participation and patterns of worship, explain and express our faithfulness.
Community is our Heartbeat
Reach In: Community of Faith
Reach Out: Mission to people outside of us.
Reach Down: Generational empowerment is our legacy.
Reach Up: Follow a Leader.
Luke 4:18-19 TPT
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, and he has anointed me to be hope for the poor, healing for the broken-hearted, and new eyes for the blind, and to preach to prisoners, ‘You are set free!’ I have come to share the message of Jubilee, for the time of God’s great acceptance has begun.
His Presence is our Passion
Ephesians 1:23 MSG
The church, you see, is not peripheral to the world; the world is peripheral to the church. The church is Christ’s body, in which he speaks and acts, by which he fills everything with his presence.
Alignment with God’s authority and structures allows His power and gifts to flow.
Prayer is our Priority
1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 NLT
Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
We pray first. The power of prayer deepens our dependence on Him and sharpens our faith. When we pray, we place everything in God’s hands, trusting His guidance in every aspect of our lives.
