Spanish Service
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Our Practices
Our mission is to help you become a lifelong follower of Jesus. We do that by practicing and developing these five practices in our lives:
-
We encourage everyone to practice a weekly Sabbath dinner where they can delight in their family, spouse, kids, or if single, friends or relatives, and then conclude Sabbath at another table, the Lord’s Table, every Sunday morning at one of the services.
-
We invite every person who attends Living Hope to do our daily Devotional Experience. Each year we put out 365 days of Bible reading for Living Hope. You can find it on our website as well as in our Devotional Experience journal.
-
We encourage you to give to God as an act of reverent worship. Give the tithe as a holy portion belonging to Yahweh. As you give the holy portion of your income, you are giving the whole of your income.
-
We have several different styles and options of groups from live to Zoom, men’s to women’s, marriage, to families, to teens. We cannot do life alone. We grow together as we follow Jesus together.
-
Living Hope is a family, God’s family. And just like everyone in a family has responsibilities to make the family work, we all have responsibilities to make our Living Hope family work. As we serve in our church, or homes, and our community, we become the hands and feet of Jesus.
