Hope Community Launch

Myself and a close friend, Paul Snyder, are lifelong residents of the Minerva, OH area. We love this community and the surrounding communities―the people, businesses, families, and schools. We are on the journey of starting a church that reflects the passion and love we have for this community and its people.


Look around it is obvious that Minerva doesn't need another church―there are many churches in our community that are doing great things. But we believe that Minerva needs a different kind of church. A church for people who otherwise would never step foot into a church. A church that is for our community. A church that is for the people of our community, even if they never step foot in our church or any church. A church that partners with area businesses and organizations to make Minerva a better place. A church that engages with people everyday, not just on Sundays. Thus, the dream of Hope Community was born.


At Hope Community our vision is to create a church where all people can discover hope unhindered.


Our mission is to help people pursue a lifelong relationship with Jesus.  


For us, this all comes together in a non-profit coffee shop where a church meets on Sunday. It will be a place that looks and functions as a full scale coffee shop during the week. It will be a place where people can gather, work, relax, and build relationships. The coffee we use will support missions around the globe and the proceeds from sales will go directly back into our community. On Sunday mornings we will gather for church service.


We will be launching Hope Community in January of 2017, and the money from this campaign will be used to help with that . It will help purchase and renovate a physical location; it will help purchase furniture, fixtures, and equipment; it will help recruit and train leaders; it will help purchase curriculum and supplies, and much more.


Thank you so much for your consideration in supporting Hope Community. Know that your donation will impact lives both in our community and around the globe.
