The Mission
To glorify God by making disciples who know Jesus, grow in Jesus, and go for Jesus.
​
-
Know Jesus: To be born again (John 3:3), to be in a personal relationship with Jesus
-
Grow in Jesus: As a body of Christ, we will become lifelong disciples striving to follow, obey, and imitate Jesus (2 Peter 3:18)
-
Go for Jesus: Into the world (John 20:21) both locally and globally to: 1) the least (Matthew 25:31-46) and; 2) the lost (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8)
MOHC has made a commitment to give away 25% of it's annual giving to support worthy God-centered and effective outreach. The church as given away over $10 million dollars.
The Values
HAGIOS: the word in the Greek means “holy” (1 Peter 1:16). God calls his church to be a holy people, set apart from the world. Yet Hopesters will be the ones doing the ministry, in the world as salt and light (John 20:21; Matthew 5:13-16).
Humble: We realize everything we have is a gift from God.
Authentic: We are real people living in the Holy Spirit’s supernatural power.
Generous: We generously give because God has so generously given to us through Jesus.
Innovative: We will explore creative means to reach people for Jesus.
Outreach: We live to reach the world for Jesus.
Simple: We will remain a simple organism so that Hopesters can do the ministry of MOHC.
