The Matt 25 Hope Center brings a new concept to Ministry

We are a Ministry Development Center.  Our goal is not to own and operate a number of ministries, but rather to help facilitate ministries from the Christian faith community. 

THE PROBLEM
Many Christians and churches can identify needs in our community but feel inadequate, inexperienced, or under-resourced to address them.  

THE SOLUTION
The pooling of resources, experiences, and energies to go along with the passion to help people in the name of Christ, is the answer.  We believe we have all the resources we need to address the needs of our community sitting in our pews.  When we tap into that, together with the power of the Holy Spirit and God's leading, we feel miracles naturally follow. 

HOW WILL THIS FUNCTION
When an idea or ministry need is raised, we will facilitatate a Think Tank on the subject to develop a plan of action.  We will help research "best practices" on that issue. Our staff will assist the volunteers in establishing administrative practices to operate and if need be to establish their own organization.  We will host and facilitate related meetings as we help make related connections.  The Matt 25 building will be used to house the new ministry.  It may become a permanent home for that ministry or they may outgrow it or have a need to relocate for ministry purposes.

ADVANTAGES
The Matt 25 Hope Center will provide a neutral, easily accessible, prominent site in the community.  The presence of other related ministries will only help to strengthen each other.  We avoid the appearance of competition or duplication of services by having a number of different churches involved in the same ministry.  We believe very strongly in collaboration.  There may be instances where similar services are being provided but we pledge to work in partnership whenever and however possible.  Perhaps the biggest advantage will be that the community will see the Christian community working together focusing on Kingdom building.
