Cooperative Program
Living Hope Fellowship is committed to missions – locally, in our state, our nation, and all around the world. The primary expression of this commitment is seen in our support of the Cooperative Program, the Southern Baptists’ method of pooling resources in order to do more together than we could separately. Churches designate a portion of their receipts for the Cooperative Program. These funds are sent to state or regional conventions where a portion of the money is kept for local ministry and missions, and a portion is sent to the Southern Baptist Convention where it is distributed to our agencies and used to fund missions both at home and abroad.

Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions
For 125 years Southern Baptists have been collecting an annual offering in support of international missions. More than 3.5 billion dollars has been given to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, whose namesake inspired the first collection in 1888. Then, as now, every penny given to “Lottie Moon” supports missionaries as they share the good news about Jesus Christ in countries around the world.
