The Missional Church

Jesus called his church to be in the world proclaiming the Good News of his love and grace.  In our desire to be a missional church, Hopewell Reformed Church strives to be a community that continuously looks out into a world in need and asks, ”How can we join Jesus Christ in that place of need and be his hands, feet, and voice of love and grace?”  If it is by getting our hands dirty helping a neighbor in need or starting a new Christian community for people who need Jesus’ love, Hopewell Reformed Church is a community that will serve those needs, not a community looking to be served.
