Living Hope Missionary Church

Celebrating YFC & Reading Contest

As a final message in "We the Church" sermon series, we will review our Mission Statement and hear from the front lines of Youth For Christ (YFC) from Bluffton. The YFC national movement began in 1944 under the prominent leadership of Rev. Billy Graham. Today, Madi More and guest students will share testimony about YFC and the work of Jesus in their lives.

Meaningful Missions

Passionate Spirituality

Our 2021 natural church development assessment identified “Passionate Spirituality” as one of eight key quality characteristics of a healthy church. Today, we will consider where this idea comes from and some practical aspects of passionate spirituality.
Pastor Alan Stover
Leviticus 6:12-13

Empowered Teaching

Empowered Teaching is sharing God’s Word in a way that can lead a person to the true knowledge of God, His power, His justice, His love, His mercy, and His grace in salvation through His only Son, Jesus Christ.
Pastor Alan Stover
Colossians 3:16a

Pastor, Part 1

As Living Hope Missionary Church of Dunfee prepares to call its next Lead Pastor, we will consider practical steps within the process. From 2 Timothy 4:1-5 we will see three qualities of a successful Lead Pastor and identify what all pastors need.
Pastor Alan Stover
2 Timothy 4:1-5

Spiritual Gift-Based Ministry

Spiritual Gift-based Ministry is the way God intends His Church to function as one body (Romans 12; 1 Corinthians 12; Ephesians 4). Each person who puts their faith in Jesus is given spiritual gifts. It is each individual’s responsibility to accept and align your spiritual gifts with the part of ministry God intends for you to serve at Living Hope Missionary Church.
Pastor Alan Stover
1 Corinthians 12:1-12

Holistic Small Groups

Holistic Small Groups are places safe enough for individuals to own and reveal their brokenness with others that have been called out by Jesus to be children of God. Our small groups are meant to help one another grow together with the indiscriminate love of Jesus.
Pastor Alan Stover
Hebrews 3:12-14 & 10:23-25

Membership and Baptism Sunday

In a day when the Word of God is often watered down or abandoned altogether, Living Hope Missionary Church of Dunfee remains fully committed to the inerrancy of Scripture and the authority of the Word of God. Today we will consider the basic tenets of our faith and hear testimonies from our newest member and baptism candidates.

Elders Part II

Effective structures within the church must meet an important criterion: Fulfill God’s purpose for the Church. Today, we will seek an understanding from God for church leadership with Biblical Elders at Living Hope Missionary Church of Dunfee.
Pastor Alan Stover
I Peter 5:1-4

Elders Part I

As we start a new on "We The Church", we will start to unpack biblical eldership. 2021 will be the first time in the church's history where we have leaders referred to as "elders." Today, we will interview the church's two new elders.
