Can We Really Join God in His Work?
Men and women of faith around the world work with unwavering confidence that God actively works in the world today. New Hope Church has the privilege to join God in His work here in the greater Lansing area and around the world through our missions efforts.
New Hope partners with missionaries and organizations who reflect the same purposes we do.
Simply stated, we value:
Significant partnerships with fewer missionaries
Supporting established agencies aligned with NH’s values & doctrines
Partnership possibilities
Fostering a discipleship culture in all we do
