02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Hope Church is here to lives transformed through Hope in Jesus. We long to see this in our members, as Jesus transforms us to be more like him and to see it in our community, the Highlands and the World as we spread the message and help others do the same. To this end, we teach the good news about Jesus in lots of situations - week by week in our services and discussion groups, in pastoral discussions within the membership and interested others. We also run events for folks who dont go to Church to engage with Church life and the good news about Jesus. We are also excited to be training some young people so they can serve in Churches in the future. Some maye stay in this area and do it here. Others will go further afield. We have raised dedicated funding and given grants to this end. We also gift some of our income to other ministries to demonstrate our heart for Scotland and the World.
