Values
The purpose of Living Hope Church is to connect people to Jesus, His Church and the World.
Connecting people to Jesus
Jesus has come from heaven to earth to connect with us. We now, with joy embrace Him and live to know Him and make Him known. If you already know Him come with us as we spur one another on to love and good works through Jesus. If you don’t yet know Him, but would like to explore who He is, walk with us and see this amazing man who is God in the midst of His people. We aren’t perfect (and don’t claim to be), yet He is. We’ll admit when we’re wrong, tell you the truth in love and walk with you through the challenges of life.
Connecting people to His Church
Are you a follower of Jesus? Then you were made to serve Him and know Him as part of a local church. Followers of Jesus are meant to live life together. As we love one another (not a fake, surface love, but a real, daily-grind kind of love) the world will see that Jesus lives. Hey, we’ll admit it, the church isn’t perfect, but it is beautiful – Jesus says so. Jesus died for His church and He is making her beautiful and fit for Him. Make your university years count as a follower of Christ. Join a local church. It doesn’t have to be ours, but we love it and invite you to come with us.
Connecting people to the World
Jesus told us He would never leave us alone. He told the first disciples to wait for God the Spirit and then go into all the world. Well, we don’t have to wait for either. God the Spirit is now with us and He is compelling us to go…into every neighborhood in St. Joseph and Maryville, every area of Northwest Missouri, every corner of America, and every part of the world to reach every tongue, tribe and nation. It is a comprehensive call. We will serve where we are and thereby learn to serve wherever God the Spirit might send us in the future. We are part of the Newfrontiers family of churches which is currently 600 strong and growing all over the world. Where is God calling you? Find out in His local church.
