A Job Not Done: Rural Areas Socked By Unproductive Congress

Welcome

Hope for Northwest Georgia equips churches to have transformative relationships with the poor in their communities through teaching, training, and consultation. Churches in our area have long-attempted to minister the love of Christ to the poor and needy in our community, but have struggled to find a way to do so which promotes long-term change and Gospel transformation. Hope for Northwest Georgia helps churches minister in ways which manifest the love of Christ and promote real and lasting change.

Hope for Northwest Georgia is not a para-church ministry, operating outside of the local church, but rather a cooperative ministry of churches in the North Georgia area. Hope does not replace church ministry, but establishes ministry in local churches, organizes cooperative ministry between local churches, and equips local churches to work with the poor in the love of Christ.

As a ministry of cooperation and coordination, Hope builds on assets and services already in the community. Hope seeks to engage and partner with other organizations, individuals and services, being salt and light, and pooling (and organizing) or resources in partnership rather than either competition or isolation.
