Our Vision: Experience Hope, Build Community, Live Out Faith

 

At Living Hope Ministries, our vision, mission, and core values drive everything we do. We are committed to being a welcoming and transformative presence in the Jacksonville community, fueled by the hope we find in Jesus Christ.

  • Reach the Diversified Population: We are committed to reaching all people in the Jacksonville area, embracing the richness of its varied communities.

  • Bridge all Classes: We actively seek to welcome and serve people from all race and socioeconomic classes.

  • Offer Hope to the Marginalized: We are dedicated to offering Hope to those whom other churches may have forgotten or left behind, ensuring everyone finds a place of belonging and acceptance.

Our Vision for the Future

 

Our vision is a picture of what we are actively striving to create: a vibrant, growing, and hopeful community.

  • Share the Gospel: To share the good news of Jesus Christ with the un-churched people of our community.

  • Disciple Vibrant Believers: To teach and nurture new believers, developing them into vibrant, active followers through effective small groups and powerful corporate worship experiences.

  • Be a Beacon of Hope: To continually offer Hope to those who are without Hope—anchored in the life-changing power of Jesus Christ.

 

Our Core Values

 

These values are the foundation of who we are and how we operate:

  • Christ Headship & Biblical Teaching: We acknowledge Christ as the head of the church (Eph. 1:22-23). We believe the Bible is the God-inspired word and is our ultimate authority.

  • Community: We value community as the most effective way to build meaningful relationships, stimulate spiritual growth, and reach the un-churched. We are stronger together.

  • Prayer (James 5:13-18): We value Prayer, believing that God desires His people to pray and that He hears and answers. All ministries and activities of this church will be characterized by a reliance on prayer.

  • Encouragement: We value Encouragement, actively giving Hope to people who need Hope through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
