Congregational contributions to the Hopewell Network of Churches will be used in the following ways:
- Apostolic Team Ministry. Contributions help release the needed leadership to lead the network forward into the future with fresh vision. Currently, the time that the apostolic team invests in other Hopewell Congregations and leaders is subsidized by their congregations. Your partnership gifts will enable them to give more time to the vision and care of the Network churches and leaders and take the network to the next level.
- New church development. New churches have received start-up grants. Congregational giving to the network will assist the Hopewell Network of Churches to start additional churches for which we would provide coaching and grants.
- International ministries. There are multiple opportunities to connect internationally. Congregational giving to the network will permit us to respond.
- Church revitalization. A number of Hopewell Network of Churches congregations have been blessed by network personnel as they have gone through difficult transitions. Congregational giving to the network will allow us to compensate persons who have the capacity to help congregations through those transitions.
- Release of five-fold ministries. We are beginning to release five-fold ministries. Congregational giving to the network will empower the release of these ministries through start-up grants.
- Joint ventures. Some joint ventures that currently receive funding from the Hopewell Network of Churches include the summer camp and humanitarian needs. Congregational giving to the network will make it possible to invest in additional joint ventures.
- Resourcing. Congregational giving will enable us to provide various types of resourcing to benefit the churches. Presently we provide a retreat for pastors and spouses, cluster support groups, regular pastors meetings and apostolic ministry into the Network. We would like to provide seminars and conferences to strengthen the various ministries in each church in the future
