about

us.

We are a common hope network. This network doesn’t exist around a common creed, doctrine, practice or mission, though each of the partner and studio communities may do so. This network is a place where different and diverse communities of faith can connect and center around the common theme of hope. Currently the communities of the Common Hope Network share and commit to these five values of hope for the whole person.

HOPEFUL IDENTITY | people are the beloved of God
HOPEFUL HEALING | people desire a whole life
HOPEFUL FRIENDSHIP | people want true, safe, and trusting relationships
HOPEFUL CONTRIBUTION | people are created to create and share their unique gift(s)
HOPEFUL PRESENCE | people long to participate meaningfully in the places they live

The pastors/leaders of the network gather monthly for a 60 minute video call to process their life, their communities life, and the hope of the network. The network seeks to share ideas, insight, and resources from their context to help and enhance each other's indigenous efforts.
