About My Church Plant
Gospel Hope Church exists to make disciples who are growing in the gospel as a family while on mission. At Gospel Hope we believe that disciple-making is not just a ministry of the local church, it is the ministry of the local church. In light of this, everything we do is aimed at helping people grow in their relationship with God, in their commitment to their fellow believers and in their engagement with the world.
NAMB Church Planting
Demonstrated Christian character is essential for missionaries and chaplains to gain credibility and build community. A missionary is person who, in response to God’s call and gifting, leaves his or her comfort zone and crosses cultural, geographic or other barriers to proclaim the gospel and live out a Christian witness in obedience to the Great Commission. The North American Mission Board supports missionaries serving across the United States, Canada and their territories. Churches are the missionary incubators and sending centers for missionaries through the Southern Baptist Convention. Missionaries serve in a variety of settings and face tremendous challenges. But the rewards are tremendous and life-changing. Missionaries have the privilege to represent their church and their Father in sharing the gospel as the primary focus of their activity.
