Vision & Mission
As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
John 17:18
To glorify God
“Our desire is to be a people who glorify God and enjoy Him forever.”
Built upon Christ
Hope Evangelical Free Church is evangelical in doctrine and congregational in church practice. The church is built upon the Lord Jesus, and our foundation is His word.
Why we exist
“To glorify God as a holy, Bible-centred, worshipping, witnessing, serving and fruitful body of believers in Christ Jesus.”
i.
Worship
We involve every believer in worshipping and glorifying God: in our Sunday services and gatherings, through prayer, praise, song, giving, baptism, the Lord’s Supper, the preaching of the Word, and serving one another.
#WORSHIP
ii.
Prayer
We encourage every believer into an effective life of prayer, both personal and corporate.
#PRAYER
iii.
Evangelism
We encourage every believer to witness to their faith in Christ, so everyone has opportunity to hear the Gospel — fulfilling the Great Commission (Mark 16:15–18).
#WITNESS
iv.
Teaching & Training
We provide teaching and training that leads to a mature understanding and application of God’s Word, and to the growth of each believer’s gifts and ministries.

v.
Missions
We pray for and support missionary work, send workers, and seek to plant new churches in other places.
#MISSIONS
vi.
Service & Social Concern
We encourage every believer to use their gifts to serve others — caring for the poor, sick, elderly, and vulnerable, and helping one another grow spiritually and in practical need.
#SERVE
Come and join us
This vision is not a slogan on a wall. It’s the rhythm of our Sundays, the heartbeat of our discipleship groups, and the reason we open our doors to the wider community. We’d love for you to come, see, and be part of it.
