We Believe — No matter who you
are or where your life has taken you, we
want you to feel the freedom to worship
God without inhibition or coercion.
We Enjoy — Lively, spirited
music and worship. Feel free to
clap and/or raise your hands while we
sing and pray.
Our Goal — That everyone
feel welcome by the entire church
family. At some point in the
service you will be greeted by many
different new friends. Feel free to
introduce yourself and to greet others
around you.
Our Pastor — Pastor Kevin
Kleinhenz always attempts to preach on
subjects relative to everyday life.
At the end of the message he will offer
prayer time at the altar. We want
you to feel welcome to come forward with
your prayer need at that time.
Philosophy of Ministry
PURPOSE STATEMENT
The ideal Purpose Statement
expresses the purpose of the Church
universal’s existence (the Great
Commandment) in easily remembered terms. It
states:
“Love the Lord your God with
all your heart, and with all your soul and
with all your mind and with all your
strength…and love your neighbor as yourself.
There is no commandment greater than these.”
Mark 12:30-31
The baseline for this
statement is that we should love God
and love people. Expressed in the
simplest form, it might look like
this:
LOVE GOD
LOVE PEOPLE
As a working purpose
statement, Living Hope Church has
adopted “Love God, Love People”
The ideal
mission statement succinctly
clarifies “How” the Purpose
Statement will be achieved.
The Biblical mandates for
Lordship,
Instruction,
Fellowship,
and
Evangelism
are generally articulated in
an effective mission
statement.
As its
Mission Statement, The
Living Hope Church has
adopted the following
five ministry pillars:
Acting for
Others
(Ministry)
Leading Others
to Christ
(Evangelism)
Involving
Everyone
(Fellowship)
Victorious
through Worship
(Lordship)
Equipping Saints
(Instruction)
