Who we are
"At Hope for Today, we care about our relationship with Jesus Christ. No matter our collective stories we have found faith, hope, and love in Jesus, evidenced by life transformation and desire for our community to experience that life and truth. "
Where we come from (origin story)
Hope for Today Church began June 27, 2021 with a sense to foster a passionate church community where passion for life in Jesus and reverent praise and love for our mighty God and saviour, is at the center of all that we do. Where hope is realized, joy is expressed, and freedom of worship reverence is the reality of spirit-filled, disciple-making people who desire to walk in obedience to the pleasing and perfect will of God.
As a core team, we began with a collective resolve to humbly endeavor by the grace of God to be a church family that is engaged in our community, welcoming to everyone, passionate about living a Christ-honouring life, prayerfully discerning, humbly enduring, biblically grounded, Spirit-led, and Great Commission focused.
Where we're headed (Vision)
Hope for Today Church is committed to sharing the transformative hope of the gospel and helping people thrive in their relationship with Jesus, through intentional discipleship and passionate outreach.
We will endeavor to fulfill this vision by being prayerfully discerning, Spirit-led, biblically grounded, relational and welcoming to all people, leveraging technology to expand reach, and open to creative ministry opportunities. As we move forward as a church family, instilling hope, fostering a sense of belonging, sharing the transformative hope of the gospel, and glorying God remain at the center of who we are as followers of Jesus Christ.
