Hope City’s Mission, Vision and Beliefs

The Bible

The Bible is the inspired, authoritative word of God. It is, in it’s entirety, the rule of faith and conduct.

The Trinity

There is one God, eternally existent in three persons. Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is the only son of God who was concieved by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He was crucified, died, buried and rose three days later and ascended to Heaven and sits at the right hand of God.

Salvation

Anyone who believes on Jesus Christ and confesses Him as their personal savior will receive salvation.

The Church

The Church is the fellowship of all Christians worldwide. Anyone who has sincerely accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior are members of what is also called the Body of Christ and the Family of God. No one person is the church, but we are all members!

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is the unseen Spirit of the living God who was sent to Earth as an aid to believer’s. He leads us, guides us and is the avenue to faith.

What Do We Believe About Baptism?

 

 

We believe water baptism is an outward expression of an inward work. Water baptism is how a believer identifies with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus and is a testimony of that believer’s faith in Jesus as their Lord. Water Baptism does not save you: it let’s everyone know you are saved!

 

Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38, 8:36-39, 10:34-48; Romans 6:4; Colossians 2:12

 

BAPTISM

What Do We Believe About Communion?

 

We believe that Communion is a celebration of Jesus’ death and our remembrance of what He did for us on the cross. By partaking of these elements, we remember the freedom that Christ purchased for us and that all of God’s promises are ours in Christ!

 

Matthew 26:26; Luke 22:17-20; 1 Corinthians 10:16, 11:23-25

Our Mission

Our mission at Hope City Church is to share the goodness of God to bring hope and transformation in Christ.

The Culture of Hope City

Hunger | Humility | Honor | Hope

Hunger – Hunger for the Word of God and Fellowship with other believers. (Matthew 5:6; 1 Peter 2:2)

Humility – We humble ourselves, die to ourselves, and allow God to lift us up. We understand this life is not about us but our life in Christ! (Phillipians 2:8; James 4:10)

Honor – We honor the Word and place it as the preeminient authority in our lives. This allows us to honor the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and fellow believers. (1 Samuel 2:30; John 5:23)

Hope – Knowing God and His promises give us hope that cannot be moved! It is our anchor in this life that allows our faith to bring it to manifestation! (Colossians 1:27; Hebrews 6:19)
