Summer Missions-Port City Project:A sustainable missions model-we plan missions projects that meet specific needs of our local partner ministries/organizations for meaningful and effective service. This isnt a mission trip, its an experience and our goal is for you to leave inspired to go home and love your neighbor as well. This model empowers you to come alongside local ministries to support the work that they are doing that will continue long after you leave Wilmington.
Leadership PipelineIn order to address poverty we must first address the brokenness. As part of our Leadership Pipeline we invite an individual into our process to address establishing peace (or shalom) in the following areas: Shalom with God, self, others and creation. Our process is a long-term partnership with each individual that works through relationship and mentorship to address each of those areas and break cycles that my be preventing shalom.
Community EngagementVigilant Hope believes that the church is one unified Body of Christ and therefore we work to be an active and equal part of the communities within Wilmington NC. We strive to blur lines by eating together, learning together and working together as one. We offer opportunities at various meals, showers, urban gardens and other events.
Poverty EducationVigilant Hope offers educational opportunities to anyone who is interested in learning about poverty and practical ways to help. We offer workshops, forums, consulting and mentorship to individuals or groups/churches who want guidance on how to navigate the complexities of ministry work.
