core values
The Word of God
We believe in the life-changing power of the Word of God.
We believe that the Bible is the final authority in all matters of doctrine, faith, and life.
This is reflected through relevant and expository preaching.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 4:12)
Transformation
We want to move beyond education of the mind to transformation of the heart and life. Christ-like character and personal holiness are dear to us.
(Galatians 4:19; Romans 8:29)
Discipleship
Discipleship is the heart of the Great Commission of Jesus Christ.
We follow Jesus’ four-phase process of discipleship: Win, Build, Equip, Multiply.
We do not just want to shepherd believers, but to reach those who are far from God.
(Matthew 28:18-20; 1 Peter 2:21; 1 John 2:6; 1 Corinthians 11:1)
Outreach
We are committed to reaching our local community and the world with the radical love of God and the good news of Jesus Christ. Christ’s last command is our first concern. Reaching others with the light of the Gospel is at the heart of Hope Bible Church's ministry.
(Acts 1:8)
Relationships
Life-change best takes place in relationships.
Authentic Biblical community is a vital part of a Christian's life.
(1 Thessalonians 2:8; 1 Peter 1:22)
Prayer
Prayer is the engine that drives the work of God, thus we make prayer a priority as individuals and as a church. We pray by faith to the almighty and sovereign God, knowing that He hears us and will answer according to His will for His glory.
(2 Chronicles 7:14; Jeremiah 33:3; Ephesians 5:16)
