Living Hope Baptist Church About Us

About Us

Living Hope Baptist Church exists to lead people to hope in Jesus

We are a community of born-again believers dedicated to exalting Christ. We believe in the faithful study and exposition of God’s Word. We want to bring glory to God by proclaiming his goodness through our words and actions. We are committed to growing in the knowledge and love of God. This is done through faithful biblical instruction and caring fellowship so we can become better witnesses wherever we are. We are also committed to Christ-centered, gospel-filled worship and preaching. Our desire is for people to know God’s grace.

As we lead people to hope in Jesus, we seek to become…

… a church that exalts God, edify and equip believers and evangelize the world through the power of Jesus Christ;

… a church that’s defined by our commitment to the gospel. This is evident through faithful biblical exposition of God’s Word, genuine care and fellowship, and wholehearted worship;

… a church that grows in the knowledge of God and is passionate about living out the gospel for God’s glory;

… a multicultural church across different generations, known for our unity and love;

… a church that has a lasting impact on the Lakeshore area through intentional evangelism;

… a church that plants other churches.

Our Purpose

We call ourselves Living Hope because we are all about leading people to hope in Jesus Christ. Drawn from different walks of life, we are a community bound together by God’s grace and his Spirit. Through faith in Jesus, we’ve been reconciled to God and rescued from sin’s misery, guilt and shame. This is the “living hope” we proclaim. It is a hope guaranteed by the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Our Mission

It is our mission to bring everyone from our community together to better know Jesus. We understand that our calling is a difficult one and that most people may be frightened by it; however, we feel that we are called by a higher power. Just as it reads in Joshua 1:9 we should not be dismayed for the Lord our God is with us whever we go. It is quite simply this: go out, preach the gospel, love the broken, extend grace, and show the love of Jesus Christ.
