   Matthew 25:41-46; Mark 3:29; 2 Thessalonians 1: 8, 9; Revelation 20:10-15; 21:

Jesus Christ returns soon to take the Church without spots, wrinkles or any other bad thing. Hope of Glory Church vision is to remind all non-Jewish Christians about the grace of salvation in Jesus Christ as written in Colossians 1: 27-28:

To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of Glory. We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present every-one perfect in Christ”.

To accomplish our vision, we preach the gospel to prepare Christians for the return of Jesus Christ because no one knows the exact time.

We take very seriously the general mission that Jesus Christ gave to all Christians to go and preach the Gospel and to make disciples of all nations and to teach them to observe the word of God, as detailed in Matthew 28: 19-20

At Hope of Glory Church, we accomplish this mission through biblical teachings and prayers to awaken those who are asleep, comforting those who are afflicted and strengthening those who are tired, reminding everyone of the grace of salvation, no one should lose the great price which is eternal life.

Matthew 25: 1-12.
