mission statement
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” Luke 4:18-19
Jesus says in Acts 1:8, “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall BE witnesses to Me…”
Hope Alive Church exists to BE:
A Church of The WORD
We preach The Word of God. We believe the Word of God, literally. We seek to live and function by The Word of God. “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11A WORKSHOP of The Holy Spirit
We want to always rely upon the Holy Spirit- His direction, His anointing, His power. We are a New Testament, book of Acts Church; a Church of The Spirit. Our identity is found in Him. When He is at work, people receive hope and help and lives are changed!
A Church of WORSHIP
Worship is about God. Our worship is not spectatorial, but participatory. It’s not about style or preference, it’s about our heart in praise. “But You are holy, O You who inhabits the praises of Israel.” Psalms 22:3
A Church reaching the WORLD
We’re a church of ministry. While worship is about God, ministry is about people. If our worship is right, our ministry will be right. Relying fully upon the Holy Spirit for this ministry, we want to show Jesus to our local area, America and the world. We intend to challenge and change the system and culture of the world with the life saving Message of Jesus Christ!
Hope IS Alive!
