A Message From The Leadership Team

At City Hope Church our mission is to lead everyday people to experience Jesus and follow Him in ways that change the world. Therefore, we want to ensure every dollar is mission-minded and used to advance the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20). To do so, our leadership team prepares a Stewardship Plan every six months. The plan includes how we intend to use and deploy the resources God has graciously entrusted to City Hope Church. The Stewardship Plan decribed below ensures financial transparency for our church family and any interested community members. This will maintain a culture of openness and accountability in how we steward our financial resources. The stewardship team works closely with City Hope's staff and ministry leaders to build a six-month budget per ministry and then compiles it into a total budget.

Here are some highlights, with additional detail shown below:

Budgeted expenditures Jan-Jun 2026 of $351,843 are 17% increase to acutal expenses of $300,000 for the previous budget cycle (Jan-Jun 2025 actual).
Projected giving Jan-Jun 2026 of $354,000 assumes a consistent level of generosity as the same prior year period (Jan-Dec 2024).

Each of these hopes, dreams, and goals is made possible through your faithfulness to be generous towards God's church. We hope you are inspired and encouraged by how God uses your investments in the Kingdom of God.

For City Hope Church,

The Stewarship Team of City Hope Church
