About Hope Grows Here

Our Vision

 

Hope Grows Here is a spiritual initiative focused on growth and transformation. It is a season where we are being called as a church to deepen our faith, expand our reach, and share God's love more boldly. God has done amazing things through Hope Lutheran Church for nearly 60 years, and now He is presenting us with quite possibly one of the most life-defining moments we have ever been presented with as a church. We believe God has a vision for Hope as an impact church, a church that transforms the landscape of our community, of our region, of our mission partnerships in Freehold and globally, and ultimately, the world.

 

Hope Grows Here: A Unified Vision

 

Hope Grows Here represents a renewed focus on faith, community impact, and service.

By combining annual ministry needs with plans for future growth into a unified vision, our OneFund Approach simplifies giving and ensures alignment with our mission.

 

Financial Goal

Proposed ministry and building expansions | $200,000

Total Two Year Goal: $630,000

 

Primary Goal

100% Engagement

 

Together, we can rise to the challenge, bearing fruit for the future and ensuring that Hope Grows Here.

Join us in this journey of faith and commitment, as we continue to grow in Christ’s love and service to others.
