Missions &
Outreach

Bringing the Hope, Love, and Purpose of God — Locally and Globally.

At Living Hope Church, outreach isn’t a program it’s part of who we are. We believe the church doesn’t exist for itself, but to bring hope, love, and purpose to the world around us. From serving families right here in Northwest Indiana to supporting missionaries across the globe, we are committed to living out the Great Commission in real and practical ways.

Our Heart for Outreach  

We believe Jesus calls us to:  

  • Love our neighbors  
  • Serve with compassion  
  • Meet real needs with real action  
  • Share the Gospel both near and far  

Everyone has a role to play. Whether you have a few hours or a long-term calling, there is a place for you in outreach at Living Hope Church.

Serve Indiana  

Taking Church Outside the Walls 

Once a year, we rally our entire church along with other local churches, to step outside the building and into the community for Serve Indiana.  

On this day, we gather together, put on our Serve shirts, and head out across Northwest Indiana to complete dozens of service projects helping schools, neighborhoods, families, and organizations in practical ways.  

Serve Indiana is:  

  • A powerful expression of unity  
  • A visible way to love our community  
  • A reminder that the church is more than a building  

It’s one of our favorite days of the year and a great first step into outreach.
