Global Girlfriends

Each Girlfriends Growth Group changes the world by praying for one of our "Global Girlfriends" or international workers in the C&MA. We also support our international ministry by giving $1.00 of each ticket sold at Girls Night Out for a project overseas. This year that money will go to Dorcas House, a home for girls in Burkina Faso, West Africa.

Hands of Hope

Do you crochet, knit, or quilt? Do you have a heart for prayer and comfort for others? Our ministry members meet together on a regular basis to pray and create baby blankets and prayer shawls for those in our church family who need encouragement and comfort.

If you have a heart to give, Hands of Hope welcomes donations of fabric and yarn.

Meals Ministry

Through a team of wonderful volunteers, our Meals Ministry provides meals to the people of Hope Church in times of need...after the birth of a baby, after surgery or hospitalization, or during times of crisis. The Meals Ministry is an excellent way to meet other people from church and make a difference in someone’s life. In times of need, a friendly face and a meal are true gifts!

How does it work? The Meals Ministry Coordinator, Sharon Klaehn, is made aware of a need, either through a direct request for help or through referral. Volunteers are then contacted and asked to provide a meal (home cooked or purchased) and deliver it to the recipient’s home.

If you would like to join the Meals Ministry Team or would like more information, please contact the Hope Church office or Sharon Klaehn at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
