A Recap of 2024

As we kicked off 2024, we set out to grow deep roots. You must become rooted in Jesus, His Word, holiness, and His family! For those whose roots are deep, the Lord says: You will not be bothered, or worried. Your leaves will stay green. You will never stop being fruitful! We are so thankful for what He has done and are extremely expectant for transformation and what is to come in 2025.

Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. – Colossians 2:7

We welcomed 424 new guest!

Mount Hope Church is a community of people who love God and others, and it is our desire that every Sunday, we create an environment for everyone encounter God’s love and amazing grace. Thank you for being a part of helping new families feel welcomed and encouraged in our church.

We celebrated 137 baptisms!

In water baptism, you are identifying with Jesus’s death, burial, and resurrection. Going under the water signifies that your former life is now dead and buried. Rising out of the water signifies resurrection to a new, spiritual life empowered by the Holy Spirit, who raised Jesus from the dead. You now live your new life from the position of victory over sin and death.

We were able to purchase a new church planting center in Cusco, Peru. Hundreds of churches will be planted in communities that have never heard about Jesus.

Mount Hope currently supports 370 missionaries who do this daily in 120 different countries. Regular monthly support gives a foundation to these families and individuals in otherwise difficult contexts.
