MINISTRY AT MOUNT HOPE

The Importance of Ministry at Mount Hope:

Being part of a community of faith means more than attend-ing a service together every Sunday morning. If we are to con-sistently walk with Jesus and grow closer to Him then we mustbe involved regularly not only having our needs met, but more

importantly helping to meet the needs of others. When askedwhat the most important commandment is Jesus replied sim-ply that the most important commandment is to love God andthat the second is to love others. This is what we strive to ac-complish through ministry at Mount Hope, we work to glorifyGod and to meet the needs of others.

Our hope is that every person who is a part of the communityat Mount Hope would not merely attend a ministry, but servein a ministry. Most often it is as we serve others that we findour own needs being met.

This booklet lists the current ministries at Mount Hope. If youhave any questions please feel free to speak to a Pastor onstaff, contact our church office at (781) 272-1014, or use the

contact us form on our website.

the state of not being hidden. In our

ryone? This group is not about being spoon-fed what you shouldbelieve, but about learning Truth as taught through scripture andengaging in open and honest conversation. This group is not justfor church people. It is a place for anyone who is interested inlearning more about Truth or the Bible to come and participate.
