Our Story
Pursuing Hope Ministry is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2022 to eradicate biblical illiteracy. We come alongside the individual, the church and other groups to help others learn how to read, study and meditate on God's Word.
A note from the founder:
​
Imagine being stranded in the middle of the ocean. Sharks and other scary creatures circling below. Nothing but dark waters as far as the eye can see. Fear pulses through your veins with every kick and paddle. As your limbs grow tired and your strength weakens, so does any hope of rescue. Suddenly, you notice a life raft floating close by. When you reach for it you realize that it's uninflated and no matter how hard you try you can't seem to figure out how to blow it up.
​
This is how I felt when at my lowest point in life, I held my Bible in my hands, knowing there was help for me in it's pages, and having no idea how to find it.
​
We want you to know, it doesn't have to be that way. The help and hope found in God's word is more accessible to us today than ever before and it's time we learn how to access it for ourselves. That's why we are here; to help each other know how to blow up the raft.
​
Hugs and prayers,
Kimberly
What we believe
God: God is the creator, sustainer and sovereign ruler of the universe. Eternally existent in three persons (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), He is the one and only true God. He is all knowing, all present, all loving and all powerful. Because of his great love, his unchanging character, his faithfulness and his sovereignty, I put my trust in Him and His promises.
The Holy Spirit: The promised Helper. The Holy Spirit dwells within the believer to teach truth, bring conviction of sin, comfort, guide, build Christian character and bestow spiritual gifts that we in turn use to serve God.
God the Father: God desires a relationship with his people and because sin separated them from him, he made a way for reconciliation through his son, Jesus Christ.
Scripture: The Bible is the inspired work of God, written by the hands of men through the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is without any mixture of error and is the ultimate source of truth. We believe the Bible is true both in inspiration and in historical representation. Because of this we believe every word of scripture is relevant to our lives today, even those parts that are difficult to understand. The Bible is for you today and always.
Jesus: The Son of God; he was sent to save the lost. Born of a virgin, he was both fully man and fully God. He lived a perfect life of no sin and willingly died on the cross so that all who would call on his name would be saved. He rose from the grave, victorious over sin and death and now sits at the right hand of God the Father, interceding on our behalf and reconciling us to God. He will return again someday to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Salvation: Salvation is the free gift of God given to any who choose to accept it. We can never earn our salvation through good deeds or bettering ourselves. Only through a relationship with Jesus can we be saved from the penalty of sin. We cannot lose our salvation. Once you are truly saved and begin a relationship with Christ, your eternity is sealed by God’s grace and mercy
