  h.o.p.e. ministry:
1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. Romans 5:1-5

new events:

Please inquire at the HOPE table on the patio for dates of upcoming videos.

We hope you will join us for the next video, Homosexuality 101
Homosexuality is an issue which has been largely misunderstood by much of society, including Christian society. This lack of understanding has led many Christians to mishandle this issue, thus responding ineffectively. Educating Christians on this very important topic will help them become equipped to respond more effectively.

(This video is available from Exodus)


SPOTLIGHT – Exodus website page Real Stories
Real Stories brings together hundreds of stories from real-life people who have struggled with homosexuality themselves or have been affected by a loved-one's homosexual attractions.
