Building Hope – Building Hope is about developing a connection with a community of Kenyans who chose to form a United Methodist church because our member, missionary Julie Campbell, and our congregation, are United Methodist. We believe that God is calling us to reach out in faith and form a partnership with this new church. Our prayer is for God to guide us in this ongoing relationship with this church and community in Kenya so that Hope UMC can become a beacon of God’s love in hope.

Global Missions – Our mission committee meets once a month to develop and oversee the global missionaries and mission projects of our church. The committee supports our missionaries through regular correspondence and financial support and also seeks to keep our congregation informed of how the kingdom of God is being brought here to earth through these dedicated missionaries.
