What’s it all about?
Hope for Belper originally grew out of the nationwide Hope 08 initiative launched in 2008. Its initial aim was to see “a million acts of kindness” taking place across the UK in that year. Hope for Belper has built on that work by organising projects that continue to demonstrate the love of God to our town. Built on prayer, it has seen Christians and their neighbours from across the town come together to ‘make the main thing the main thing’ – bringing the Christian message of hope to their community.
Local churches linked by Hope’s distinctive branding are:
- demonstrating God’s love by meeting needs in our communities; finding ways to build authentic local relationships and friendships.
- continuing to love and serve people regardless of what they choose to believe
- inviting people to go further in their spiritual journey, sharing the gospel with words in culturally relevant ways.
- giving people a chance to respond to the gospel then connecting people who do respond into church life
Hope for Belper is now a Registered Charity, No 1146148.
