Hope Baptist Church is a missionary-minded church.  We are fully in agreement with world-wide missions and desire to pour as much of the Lord’s money into it as possible. We believe in the great commission, Matthew 28:19-20, Mark 16:15, to go into all the world and preach the gospel. We regularly have missionaries come to speak at our church from around the world. We have a missionary cabinet that every missionary who comes to our church gets to visit. We regularly pray for the mission fields of the world. We believe our missionaries are an extension of our local church. We are responsible to God for how the money the Lord gives us is used and we believe it is to be used wisely in whom we support. We are very serious about whom we support and it is our desire to support only those missionaries that are interested in godliness and holiness in their personal lives and that they and their family have a godly testimony for our Lord, Titus 2:11-13.  We believe that if this is not true in the missioary’s life they will not be able to minister properly on the field, I Timothy 3:4-5.

We also believe that the missionary must be evangelistic, doctrinally sound, Biblically knowledgeable, have a true calling of God on his or her life to the field, and have a true love for the people they are ministering to.  Therefore, we have Hope Baptist Missions to send our own people to the mission field and Hope Baptist Institute to train them to go.
