We are a member of the global movement of Evangelical Presbyterian Churches. At HOPE Church of Raleigh, we are passionate followers of Christ. We believe our purpose can best be summarized with the words Worship - Grow - Serve. Worship When Jesus was asked what the greatest Commandment was, He stated, "Love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength." We were created to worship and love God. The first 4 of the 10 Commandments are really about worship of God. The Psalmist repeatedly states, "Worship the LORD God" "Exalt the LORD God" "Praise the LORD God with all your heart forever!" We are a community of faith that Worships the LORD God. Using the word "Worship" points us first to HIM. Grow We are to grow in faith. Without growth and knowledge of who God/Christ is and what His WORD says, we will be as Paul states, "like grass blowing in the wind." We will not have an answer for the World and its persecution of our faith. We must grow in knowledge and truth. In Proverbs we are told to "Obtain the knowledge of God, so that, we can discern life's journey ahead." Serve We are called to serve. This encompasses the great commission. Out of our service and our outreach, we proclaim Him who died for all. In our outreach, we witness to Christ and His work on the cross. We set a witness of Him to the world, so that as we serve Him in the world, the Holy Spirit might work through our witness as Paul states in Romans.
