GO Ministry Mission

“To demonstrate God’s love by connecting to and positively impacting our neighborhood.”

We don't just believe in Knowing Jesus and Growing in the Holy Spirit, but that Christ saved us for a purpose. "For you are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works which he prepared in advance for you to do." Ephesians 2:10.

So as disciples, we follow Christ outside of the church and into our neighborhood to do what He did when he was on earth. That is He healed, He freed the oppressed, He brought forgiveness and grace, and preached the good news of the God's reign on earth. The GO Ministry's goal is to bless our community in Christ's name.

Beyond our immediate community New Hope is also called to make an impact in the world at large. So every year we send people on cross-cultural mission trips, and we support three overseas missionaries. We believe that the more we reach beyond our own circles the more we live out the call of Christ's incarnational ministry.

What Kind of Mission Trips?

New Hope participates in two group mission trips a year, and also encourages individuals to take short-term mission trips as well. Short-Term mission trips help people learn how to be the gospel and share the gospel in a culture not their own. Our prayer is that we empower those we serve, but the biggest learning comes for those who serve. They are given greater tools to share the gospel in their own cultures and sub-cultures. It is just like the testimony of people who learn a foreign language. They learn their native language better.

Youth Mission Trip

Our Youth go on a short-term mission trip every summer. They have been to a variety of places like Native American Reservations, other American cities, and Jamaica. For many youth these trips are opportunities to grow spiritually, learn more about themselves, instill stronger values, and gain stronger friendships with other Youth.

Fall Mission Trip

This mission trip is scheduled during the fall school break in order to invite entire families into mission. We have been to Juarez Mexico, Mescalero Apache Reservation, and Arizona Reservation Ministry on the San Carlos reservation.

Individual Mission Trips

We encourage individuals to go on short-term mission trips. People who do this come back changed people both with greater cultural awareness and a deeper faith in Christ. We have had members go to Jamaica, the Sudan, Indonesia, South Africa, and Macedonia.
