Churches

Children’s HopeChest partners with churches to provide consistent, meaningful support to vulnerable children and their communities. We select church partners carefully to ensure that both the community partner and the church are enriched.

Why do we partner with churches?

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1509027355008{padding-top: 5% !important;padding-right: 5% !important;padding-bottom: 5% !important;padding-left: 5% !important;}”]We believe resource void of relationship is transactional and creates dependency, but true transformation happens in relationship. Relationship is the currency of the Kingdom and healthy relationships go two-ways. HopeChest forms long-term Community-to-Community partnerships that are a catalyst to engage, transform, and disciple your congregation and a specific global community with a high rate of orphaned and vulnerable children. Churches provide that relationship, along with the stability, encouragement, support and guidance that are key to creating sustainable change, renewing hope, and moving vulnerable children from a point of crisis to long-term health.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1509028767817{padding-top: 40px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/194699302″ css=”.vc_custom_1495526329673{margin-bottom: 10% !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” enable_first_overlay=”true” first_overlay_opacity=”100″ first_background_color=”#8ccecd” sbvcbgslider_enable=”yes” sbvcbgslider_animation_speed=”750″ sbvcbgslider_slide_duration=”3000″ sbvcbgslider_overlay=”yes” sbvcbgslider_overlay_color=”rgba(140,206,205,0.95)” sbvcbgslider_slider_attachments=”604″ css=”.vc_custom_1521381234879{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 2% !important;background-color: #494040 !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1509029207763{padding-top: 3% !important;padding-right: 8% !important;padding-bottom: 3% !important;padding-left: 8% !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1509028157391{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}” el_class=”whiteType”]

At the heart of our model is relationship between two communities. When a church becomes a HopeChest Partner with a CarePoint, they are not simply one-time donors, but building a long-term relationship. Because of this, we only partner with churches that are already ready to make this kind of commitment.

Four things that make a great church partner:

1. A desire to pair passion for helping others with a plan of action

2. A desire to focus on a long-term global partnership, and to expand mission opportunities for the congregation

3. A large children’s and family ministry

4. A lead pastor who is committed to and engaged with global missions, and willing to go on Vision and mission trips
