Teamwork Campaign

Teamwork Campaign

Last month a two-year ministry facilities campaign was launched here at Hope. A sincere word of thanks to all who have made pledges and gifts already as part of the Teamwork Campaign. Ever member of Hope is needed to participate in this important effort, as we strive to raise $300,000 over the next two years. Our intention is to keep our mission of reaching people for Christ as the most important thing we do here at Hope, and to ensure that our ministry facilities are in excellent condition to support that mission. We look forward to checking off the remaining projects on our list. Your prayers and contributions are welcome, and deeply appreciated!

For more information how you can help, or if you have any questions regarding the Teamwork projects, please call the church office at 919-554-8109 or email
