Hope Church is a church for you and your friends.
HOPE CHURCH SWEDEN
Today, we are one church in three locations, Vetlanda, Växjö, and Nässjö.
From The Pastors
Many years ago, I gathered with the young people in our congregation to take a moment and envision the church they wanted to see. I asked them what kind of church they hoped to build—a place where they and their friends could truly feel connected and inspired. Little did we know, those conversations would shape the church we have today. Many of those young people are now our church leaders, carrying forward the vision we once dreamed of together
We strive to be as responsive today as we were then, avoiding the trap of routine and remaining open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Our desire is to be a church that honors God's Word, exalts Jesus, and inspires others to live as His followers.
Love and fire Patrik & Kicki

We as a church have 5 core values.
This is what we value. Our values represent the way we want to live out our vision; they provide us with the right direction and ensure that everything we do is done with the right attitude and heart. Below, you can see all 5 values.
GIVING
Tithing is not an act of generosity.
IT IS A WAY TO HONOR AND OBEY GOD.
I would like to give back to God because of his immense generosity toward me and it's the least I can do is to be obedient and follow him.
Please listen to Ps. Robert's teaching on tithing.
