Our Mission

The mission of Hope for Opelousas is to share our hope in Jesus Christ by reflecting His steadfast mercy and love to the communities in our city.

Our Aim

1. Neighbors Loving Neighbors.

  • Hope for Opelousas is a ministry dedicated to prayerfully seeking out and finding new and tangible ways to love and serve the people in Opelousas and Acadiana.

2. Unity Within the Body of Christ.

  • We endeavor to partner with all Christians from every church in our city to love and serve the people of Opelousas together. We aim to build bridges in order to reflect the prayer of Jesus (John 17) building unity though love, prayer and service.

3. Justice for the People.

  • We believe that justice and righteousness are the foundation of the Lord’s throne, and that Jesus has provided his gospel for the salvation all people. Therefore, racial and socioeconomic discrimination of any kind is to be combated with the grace, love and mercy of Christ.

4. Bringing the World to Opelousas.

  • We seek to bring teams of Christian people from throughout the United States and around the world to help us love, serve, and enjoy our great city. We are committed to extending to them the special hospitality characteristic of south Louisiana and meaningful opportunities to work and share the mercy of Christ to our neighbors. In addition, we desire to strengthen our partnerships with existing ministries in Opelousas to meet the diverse needs of people in our city.

5. Opelousans Inspired to Worship the True God.

  • We hope that any good that is accomplished through this ministry will inspire the praise, thanksgiving and whole-hearted worship of Opelousans of all ages to the Father, and to the Son and the Holy Spirit. We dream that each church will be filled with people offering themselves to God in spirit and truth with a glad heart.
