Our mission and our values demonstrate who we are and flow from what we believe.
Our Mission
1
Present to the World
At our core we are a proclaiming people. Because we know God and have been known by God, we are compelled to tell others about Him and what He’s done for us through the gospel.
2
The Perfection of God
Knowing and treasuring God is of utmost importance to us. He is our beginning, middle, and end, and His nature and His Word are perfect. Therefore, we strive to live our lives faithfully before Him!
3
For the Joy of All Peoples
Because of the gospel's transformative power, we believe Christians should radiate unparalleled joy. Authenticity is our aim, grounded in the conviction that Christ has resolved our fundamental issue: our rebellion against God. This gives us abundant cause for rejoicing!
Here's What We Value as a Church
The core values of any organization reflect who it is and what it believes. At Living Hope Church, we have seven core values we share with the churches of Sovereign Grace Churches.
Gospel-Centered
We believe that the gospel—the good news of God’s saving activity in Jesus Christ—is the pinnacle of His redemptive acts, the center of the Bible’s story, and the essential message for our faith, life, and witness. Our ultimate hope in all that we do is not our plans and labors, but the perfect life, substitutionary death, victorious resurrection, and glorious ascension of Jesus Christ.
Reformed Theology
Scripture presents the all-glorious, triune God as the source and end of all things, sovereignly working all things according to His will. At the center of God’s purposes in the world is the exaltation of His glory through the redemption of sinners. To this end, we believe that God sovereignly chooses men and women to be saved in order to display His immeasurable grace and glory.
Continuationist
With the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, God’s purpose to dwell among His people entered a new era. We believe the Holy Spirit desires to continually fill each believer with increased power for Christian life and witness, including the giving of His supernatural gifts for the building up of the church and for various works of ministry in the world.
Complementarian
We believe it was God’s glorious plan to create men and women in His image, giving them equal dignity and value in His sight, while appointing differing and complementary roles for them within the home and the church. Because these roles give different expressions to God’s image in humanity, they should be valued and pursued in joy and faith.
Elder-Governed
Jesus Christ reigns as head over the church, and He gives His church elders (pastors) to govern and lead under His authority. We believe that men, qualified by both character and gifting, are to serve as elders by leading, teaching, protecting, and caring for the church.
Outreach & Mission
Our gospel-centrality entails not only treasuring the gospel personally but sharing it passionately. The risen Christ commissioned His church to make disciples of all nations. We believe that commission is fulfilled in a primary way through church planting, where the gospel is declared, and converts are gathered into communities of disciples.
