A Ripple of Hope

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations"
-Matthew 28:19-20

What Is

A RIPPLE OF HOPE

'A Ripple of Hope' is the long-time initiative of Living Hope to become a multi-site church, thereby spreading the gospel through our communities like a ripple. By developing multiple locations or 'campuses' throughout the surrounding areas, Living Hope is better able to spread the Living Hope of Christ by making disciples of all nations.

ONE CHURCH IN TWO LOCATIONS

In 2022, the congregations of Living Hope Community Church and the former First Baptist Church of Doylestown voted to join together as one church in two locations. The Doylestown location reopened its doors on March 5th, 2023 as Living Hope Community Church - Doylestown Campus.

Campus details and service times can be found on the Times & Locations page of our website.

A SUCCESSFUL RIPPLE OF HOPE

Our goal was to complete the Doylestown Campus renovation project debt-free.
In April of 2024, with the financial support of our united congregations and generous donors, we successfully concluded the Ripple of Hope Campaign, having raised 100% of the project budget of $1.75 million.

OUR PURPOSE

We believe that Jesus Christ was, is, and always will be the only hope of the world. Furthermore, we believe that, as Christians, we are called to spread that hope and that the best way to do so is by mirroring Christ’s own methods.

OUR MISSION

Flowing directly from our purpose, Living Hope’s mission becomes clear: To spread the Living Hope of Christ by making disciples of all nations.

OUR MODEL

As indicated in our purpose, we at Living Hope have molded everything we do by studying how Christ lived, taught, and discipled. From this, we have dedicated ourselves to three primary ‘pillars’ by which we see our ministry: Intentional Discipleship in Relational Environments with a Missional Mindset.

OUR PLAN

Over the course of Living Hope’s time as a church, we’ve been blessed with a growing congregation full of passionate individuals looking to participate in the growth of the church. However, with that growth, we’ve learned that, in order to better reach our surrounding communities and bring the Living Hope of Jesus to them, it is not sufficient to continually expand as a church in one single location. Instead, in order to better reach people, our goal is to ‘go and make disciples’ where they are. It’s this concept that led us to consider a multi-site model--one church in multiple locations.
