Share Your Hope for the Church

"I want the church to be a place where everyone feels welcome." "I pray that the church and its leaders are spiritually healthy and Christ-like." "I wish my neighbors thought Christians were compassionate and caring."


What Is Your Hope for the Church?

Church leaders share what they hope the church will be known for, rather than what it's against.

Tell us. What would you add?

Christianity Today

Through this campaign, we hope the Church is inspired by what you and others are willing to share—to remind us of what the Church is for rather than what it's against.

As a global media ministry we also pray that the content we create inspires you as you hope and seek to be used by God as a counterculture for the common good.

Korean Baptist Church of Schaumberg | livestone1@hotmail.com, IL, USA

The church that I hope for is the place where God's Word is biblically preached, where the fellowship in the Holy Spirit are reguarly presented, where the prayer becomes the power of the ministries,where God's passion for the nations are shown. Above of all, the gospel of Jesus Christ are proclaimed read more >

That we love and listen to God and do what he says. That we teach what works on Mondays. That we treat people well. That we believe the truth.


Deborah Hoffman

Waterloo, NY, USA

My hope for the church is that it focuses on God and concentrates on worshiping Him first and foremost, not on our own needs. Once we are focused on Him, then we become His instruments and are able to be the witnesses of His great love and forgiveness that we are called to be. Too many times within read more >

Last Is First Educational Ministries | Canal Winchester, OH, USA

MY SHORT RESPONSE IS THIS: My hope for the church is that we learn to integrate the 11th Commandment willingly and completely without even having to reflect on the decision to do so. “Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” (John 13:34 NIV) And to fully embody the w read more >

It is my hope for the church that there will be a greater retention of young people remaining in the church through young adulthood and beyond. Too many young people leave the church after their youth group days are over, and they are the fuel that keeps the church alive. "Don't let anyone look dow read more >

My hope is that we start wantting and pursuing more of a real relationship with JESUS and not just know about HIM. We need to become more aware thru study of HIS WORD. I pray that we stop caring what the world wants and more of what HE wants from us and more open to the will of the HOLY SPIRIT aski read more >

My hope for the church is that this rising generation of youth, disillusioned with the lack of theological depth and world impact, continue to burn with a passion that seeks to see the Gospel spread and disciples made with an intensity exceeding that of the early church.


Beverly Moore

Matteson, IL, USA

My hope for the church is that we properly re-present Christ to the world without compromise and that we are unified...every nation, every tribe, every tongue for the glory of God! My hope is that we effectively communicated God's love and grace and help believers understand the righteousness receiv read more >


Kathy Rhodes

SeaCoast Church | Charleston, SC, USA

To see the prayer of Jesus answered...that we might all be one...just as He and the Father are one. Let the church remember, that without Love for one another and the world around us, anything else we do is pointless. Jesus said that all men would know that we are His disciples if we have LOVE one f read more >


Luis Sanchez

Calvary Chapel San Antonio | San Antonio, TX, USA

My hope is to see the Body of Christ worship in spirit and in truth; worshiping with all their heart, with all their mind, with all their soul and with all their strength and leaving not casting one of these aside; One that knows and understands that shallow worship leads to a shallow understanding read more >

Interdenomination Christ Body Ministry | Surabaya 60263, Indonesia

There must be UNITY in whole of Christ church all around the world, because Father, Son and the Holy Spirit is One.


Cami Jones

Overlake Christian | Kirkland, WA, USA

My hope is for the church at large to remember that the church (ecclesia) is the people, not the building, and that we need to be feeding the poor and outcast and drawing them in with our loving care of widows and orphans. If every church had just one member family that adopted a child, we would hav read more >


Steve Kirkeby

Valley Fellowship | La Grande, OR, USA

My hope for the church is that we would look around and see our community as a place that desperately needs the love of Christ even though they would never admit it. My hope is that the people of God would be courageous enough and have enough faith in God, that we would be willing venture out into t read more >


Charles Powell

Coaching at its Best | Portland, OR, USA

My hope and dream and ambition is that all those who call themselves "a Christian" would indeed become a disciple, defined as one who definitly follow Jesus. My prayer is that more of those who are called "laymen" would take up the task of making disciples of Jesus Christ. My hope is that the resp read more >


Rebecca Gibbons

Church of Christ | Merredin, Western Australia, Australia

I hope the Church shows genuine love to those who are not part of the church and those who are. It would be awesome if we were united and known more for who we love than what we don't allow. I hope those within the church will see the importance of a daily, minute by minute reliance on God and rel read more >


ALAN SMITH

Calvary Chapel of Melbourne | PALM BAY, FL, USA

To spread the Gospel of Jesus and make disciples. Follow Jesus commandment to love God, and love people and make good use of your time and talents. The bottom line is in everything we do, our goal is to "Make God look Good". It's all about God. It's all about Jesus. It isn't about us. Love the sinn read more >

My hope is that the Church grows in love for each other and for those outside of it.


chris weitzel

United Methodist Church | richmond, VA, USA

I hope the church becomes a home for Christ's outreaches and a vessel for God's grace and love for all people.


Graham Harris

The Salvation Army | Sydney, Australia

My hope for the church is that we, the body of Christ may lovingly example Jesus Christ to the world.


Jon Reyes

Hillside Church | san jose, CA, USA

I have great HOPE for the Church because Jesus promised that He himself; the Word which was from the begining and from whom all things came to be, will built His Church, His cherised bride. Jesus, who for the joy awaiting Him endured the cross depising the shame, will present a perfect bride to the read more >
