Our History - Our Dream
Our History
Living Hope Fellowship began as a group of believers who wanted to experience church in a real way! We wanted to get rid of aspects of the church that cause disunity; such as church politics and church as a business organization, and wanted to embrace ways we can operate more like a family; such as appointing an Elder Team, and focusing on building relationships not programs!
When LHF first began, we were renting a space at an old hotel (The Kentucky Inn) in Lexington, Kentucky. In 2004 we moved to a small church building off of Regency Road which allowed us more space for our congregation, and a better opportunity to reach a surrounding community. However, we soon developed a need for additional space and land to give us room to grow as a church. So, in August of 2005, we moved to the location we are in now on Grace Drive. We have big hopes in expanding our building to better serve the community surrounding us, allow a space for families to experience church in a real way, and a place to build strong relationships with other believers!
Our Dream
It is our dream that the Holy Spirit will work among the people of Living Hope in such a way as to bring freedom, joy and peace in Him. We are HOPING for a lot of things! We have hope that Jesus will mold us into a group of people who are known by our love for Him and for one another. We have HOPE that our fellowship will remain flexible and committed to the things that will make us more like Jesus. We have HOPE that those who visit Living Hope Fellowship will find a refreshing family atmosphere. We have HOPE that the relationships we develop will provide tremendous support for one another through the difficulties of life.
We are currently planning to build an addition to our current church building! This addition will take place in two phases. The first being a Family Life Center with a full court gym, additional classrooms, and a fitness area. The second phase will connect the Family Life Center to our Sanctuary by building a breezeway, which will contain our church offices and resource center. All this will be done according to the Lord's timing! It is our prayer that God would use these new facilities to serve the community around our church as well as bless our members! We pray that God would continue to grow our church body and use us to reach those in need!
