HOPE Network values kingdom collaboration. By collaboration we mean sharing people, resources, and/or ideas for equipping others to more fully live God’s rule in the church and the world. We are grateful for the variety of ministries, organizations, and schools that make Christ and God’s mission central to their existence.
Here are several organizations we often collaborate with and would highly recommend:
Growing Love Network
Growing Love Network, founded and directed by Hope Network Ministries Partner Jon Anderson, exists to help struggling and/or failing marriages through weekly classes, seminars, retreats, and professional counseling.
The H21 Foundation provides education and resources for Church of Christ congregations to assess their health and future, evaluate the best stewardship options of their physical assets and make good decisions about the future of the congregation. If a church decides its best course of action is to close, the Foundation provides the church a trustworthy partner to protect and sell its property and assist with legacy decisions on how to redistribute its church assets in legal and God-honoring ways. In addition, the Foundation will help the church counsel its members through emotional pain, transition issues, and the preservation and celebration of its history.
Mission Alive
The three major tasks of Mission Alive are to recruit and equip church planters, provide church planter support, and partner with churches to plant churches.
Mission Resource Network
Missions Resource Network provides churches with missions expertise, counsel, strategic planning, information, mission team preparation, missionary care services, and global vision to help churches do their job even more effectively.
Life and Leadership
This website, authored by Hope Network Ministries Partner Dr. Carlus Gupton, provides substantive resources that help church leaders live and lead more effectively.
The Carpenter’s Plan
This organization provides churches and non-profits with guidance and assistance with capital campaigns. Hope Network Ministries Partner Jason Thompson is a Senior Consultant for the Carpenter’s Plan.
The Siburt Institute for Church Ministry
This branch of ACU serves churches and church leaders in a variety of ways including: ElderLink, MinistryLink, Ministers Salary Survey, Interim Ministry, and periodic updates about services, resources and events for church leaders.
