St. Paul wrote,
“For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.” (1 Corinthians 12:12)
and,
“Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s spirit dwells in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16)
The Bible is clear. Faith was never meant to be lived out alone. When Paul reminds us that we are the temple of the holy spirit, he means, “WE.” We live in a world that emphasizes the individual, but we are a body that emphasizes the whole. We are a community; God’s family at Hope.
As you get to know Hope better, we hope that you will find a way to put your gifts to work through our shared ministry, and we hope that you will find a place to connect with others. Here are some opportunities.
