The Big Picture

The Church
As a church we are striving to be a multiplying community of people transformed by the Gospel, devoted to God’s Word, committed in community, and relentless in prayer UNTIL our families, our neighbors, our city, and our world know that Jesus is True Hope.
We are affiliated with Mission Northwest and we are associated with 135 churches in the Northwest.
As a church we have been deeply committed to missions. We have planted from scratch, rescued from dying and significantly participated in starting 8 churches in the last 70 years. Most have been in the last 15 years.
We are a giving church, and we prioritize changing the world with our resources. We are a church that is known for how well we love people and meet real needs in our community. We always ask ourselves, if True Hope disappeared tomorrow would our community notice a change or loss? Through our time, skill sets and resources, we believe living generously is the avenue through which God can use us to change the world.
Instead of building our own little kingdom we believe strongly in creating partnership with organizations that are working among different people groups.
