GIVE
Our desire to help people far from God find hope in God through the message of the gospel saturates everything we do as a church, including our generosity. We believe that we have been called by the Scriptures to give cheerfully and sacrificially for the work of the gospel. This call to give extends to everything we have; our time, our talents, and our treasures. By giving together in this way as a church family, it allows us to be part of something bigger than ourselves.
Here at Hope, we use a OneFund approach, which just means that every gift given to the mission and vision of our church goes into one fund. This OneFund is then used to fund our total operating budget for the year. We believe our OneFund approach allows us to use everything that is given to the church for everything that God has called us to do. That means with every dollar you give to support Hope Community Church, you are supporting the gospel work being done in things like our Sunday morning worship services, our kids and student ministries, our involvement in our community, and our international church planting networks. Thank you for your continued generosity that enables us to be a part of God transforming lives through the power of the gospel, both here in Cleveland County and all around the world.

If I make a contribution to the church, how do I know where my money is going?We are focusing all of our generosity – tithes, offerings, and gifts – into one fund. The OneFund approach allows us to use everything that is given to the church for everything that God has called us to do. OneFund donations are used to fund our total operating budget. Any donations given to our outside partnerships are excluded from our operating budget, and these donations are sent directly to our ministry partners.
