Welcome to Hope Missions

Hope Connection Church supports & spearheads numerous local and global outreach/missions projects. Our calling is to share the Gospel until everyone knows Jesus Christ!

Jesus’s heartbeat on missions is stated clearly in Mark 16:15: Go into ALL the world and preach the gospel to ALL creation. I am but one person... but the body of Christ is massive, and, although missions may not come to mind daily, it is IN all of us to GO and spread the Gospel. My job as Missions Coordinator is to serve as a reminder to the body of Hope that we are more than four walls... we are a living testimony with the truth of Christ that should be shared to all people, of all nationalities, far and wide.

Missions & Community Partnerships

Over the years, we have been privileged to send Missions Teams to several countries. The variety of teams has included medical teams, student teams, and adult teams to Guatemala and Nicaragua. In the coming years, we plan to expand our missions to more countries & focuses. 

At Hope Connection Church, we believe the Church is called to make a difference both locally and around the world. One of our core cultural values is “We Go” — because we believe faith moves beyond the walls of the church and into the lives of people everywhere. Another value we live by is “We Give” — generously investing our time, resources, and hearts to serve others and share the love of Jesus.

Throughout the years, our church has had the opportunity to serve on both domestic and international missions trips. From partnering with ministries in Guatemala, the Czech Republic, and Nicaragua to serving communities through the Los Angeles Dream Center, we’ve seen God work in powerful ways through people willing to say “yes” to going.

Whether it’s supporting communities in need, serving alongside local churches, meeting practical needs, or sharing the hope of the Gospel, missions are an important part of who we are. We believe every trip is an opportunity to love people well, grow in faith, and be the hands and feet of Jesus.

No matter where God calls us — across the street or across the world — we want to be a church that is ready to give, ready to go, and ready to serve. Stay up to date for our next trip!

We are honored to partner with Adams Elementary in South Oklahoma City, serving as a consistent and trusted support for their students, staff, and families. Each year, Pastor Kristi meets directly with the school’s principal to identify the most pressing needs of their community, ensuring our efforts are intentional, relevant, and impactful.

Through this partnership, we mobilize our church to meet both practical and personal needs—sharing the love of Jesus in tangible ways. From providing coats, toys, and school supplies to hosting campus beautification projects and a large-scale Christmas celebration, every initiative is an opportunity to bring hope, dignity, and encouragement. We don’t just meet needs—we build relationships, point people to Jesus, and create lasting impact year after year.

We currently provide monthly support & send missions teams to Healing Rain Ministries in Nicaragua. Healing Rain Ministries started in July of 2012 with the mission to show God's love, compassion, and hope to the poor, needy, and hurting people of Nicaragua.

We are proud to partner with Whiz Kids, an after-school mentorship program that invests in the academic and spiritual growth of elementary students. Each school year on Tuesdays from 3:10 PM–5:00 PM, our team builds meaningful one-on-one relationships that strengthen reading and comprehension skills—equipping students with tools that build confidence and open doors for their future.

Through this program, we meet both practical and personal needs by providing snacks, academic support, and consistent encouragement while intentionally sharing the love of Jesus. In this setting, we have the opportunity to openly share the Gospel, walk through Bible stories each week, and equip students with scripture they can hide in their hearts.

“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6

This isn’t just tutoring—it’s discipleship. We are raising up the next generation of leaders, helping them grow in confidence, character, and faith so they not only succeed in school, but know who Jesus is and who He’s called them to be. Join us in investing in the next generation by becoming a one-on-one mentor and helping us reach even more students.

We are honored to partner with Emerald Care Skilled Nursing Facility, serving residents through consistent presence, meaningful connection, and the love of Jesus. Each month, we host a Bible study, and throughout the year, we create intentional, joy-filled quarterly celebrations that bring encouragement and community to every resident.

Jesus cared deeply for people in every season of life, regardless of age, condition, or circumstance, and we carry that same heart into this partnership. Through every gathering, we share the truth of who Jesus is, remind residents that their lives have purpose, and show genuine love through thoughtful and engaging experiences. Many residents also stay connected by joining our services online each week, allowing them to remain part of a larger faith community.

“Even to your old age and gray hairs I am He… I will sustain you and I will rescue you.” —Isaiah 46:4

Our mission is clear: every resident, whether temporary or long-term, would encounter the Gospel, experience the love of Jesus, and have the opportunity to give their life to Him. We show up with consistency, compassion, and joy, believing it is never too late for a life to be changed by Jesus.
