Our Mission

As a community of Jesus we exist to make and mature disciples of Jesus Christ who live for the sake of the world.

Jesus came to launch a revolution! He called this revolution the Kingdom of God. It is a movement of God expressing His love to all through His people. The church is God’s revolutionary way of restoring all things and all people to right relationship with Him and each other. This restoration and reconciliation is only possible because of the amazing life, death and resurrection of God’s son, Jesus.

From our beginnings in spring of 1997 as a church plant of the Evangelical Covenant Church of Canada, we’ve been committed to telling the story of Jesus and continuing God’s mission of love and peace in Strathmore, Alberta.

To be the church as God intends requires a single-hearted focus on the basics. For us at Hope that means doing what Jesus did – making and maturing disciples. We take that to mean that we call people to become apprentices of Jesus - helping them follow Jesus’ way of living, knowing that He will lead us to a full, even overflowing, kind of life.

That’s our focus, that’s our passion, that’s our task! And the extent to which we do this well, we believe, will help us be the influence or force in the world that God longs for us to be.
