LOCAL MISSIONS

Redwood Gospel Mission

Hope Chapel supports and ministers with the Redwood Gospel Mission (RGM) at various times throughout the year. On the weekend of the Super Bowl, we take a special “Souper Bowl of Caring” offering, benefitting RGM, during our weekend services. We also collect backpacks and school supplies for their Back to School outreach to the community. And we send teams to present a free Photo Booth at their Thanksgiving & Christmas Banquets at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds.

Salvation Army

Each Christmas Season Pastor Dan and Hope Chapel serve with the local Salvation Army as bell ringers for their annual Red Kettle Fundraising Campaign.

Family Food Pantry

Hope Chapel’s Family Food Pantry (FFP) began in 2009 as a way to help Hope Chapel families “stretch their month.” Our FFP team consists of: buyers—purchasing food weekly at the Redwood Empire Food Bank; packers—preparing boxes of food to be distributed at our weekend services; and distributors—setting up our FFP tables and lovingly sharing food at our weekend services.

Visit our Family Food Pantry Page for more details.

Moving Ministry

Our Men of Hope Moving Ministry Team is on call to help our Hope Chapel family as they face the often daunting task of moving from one residence to another. Email the Hope Chapel office for more information.

Hope for the Homeless

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.” Matthew 25:35-36

Through Men of Hope we serve homeless individuals and communities in Sonoma County, helping keep them alive to hear the Gospel. This ministry is conducted through the offering of nutritious meals as well as donations of tarps, blankets and sleeping bags, coats and socks, and other items as available.

Hope for Cambodia

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after widows and orphans in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1:27

Hope Chapel sent our first mission team to support the works of Ted & Sou Olbrich (Foursquare Missionaries) in Cambodia in 2004. When the Olbriches arrived in Cambodia in 1999 there was one Foursquare Church operating in the capital city, Phnom Penh. Currently, in Cambodia, there are over 3,000 churches and 108 church orphan homes caring for more than 3,000 orphans as a part of Foursquare Children of Promise International (FCOPI). Since 2004, Hope Chapel has sent mission teams each summer to minister with and support FCOPI in their mission “to proclaim and demonstrate the Gospel of Christ” to the people of Cambodia.

Hope for Fiji

In 2010, Hope Chapel planted a church in Vunisea, Fiji. In just one year, six more Hope Chapels have been planted in various town across the islands. Our first mission team to Fiji, ministered in November and December of 2011. This team painted two houses, sponsored ministry classes, presented a Vacation Bible School, participated in baptisms, a wedding and pastoral ordination service, shared the JESUS Film with the community, and much more.
