The Ties that Bind
Living Hope Church has some especially important relationships that we want you to know about.
Fellowship of Connected Churches and Ministries (FCCM) is a vital relationship that we maintain with diligence. FCCM provides apostolic oversight, conflict resolution, well known speakers, training for our staff, cooperative missions, and many other benefits. We are pleased to cooperate with sister churches and ministries in the area and nationally, to further the cause of Christ!
Adovacy and Pregnancy Center (APC) is our designated local ministry of focus. There are three areas within the APC ministry, Jireh House (a maternity home for troubled expecting mother), Adoption: A Legacy of Love (an adoption agency to place children of crisis pregancies), and APC (which provides counseling, pregnancy tests, sonograms, and material goods for homes with children under 1 year old). APC cooperates with many churches in the Lewisville / Flower Mound / Highland Village area and we happy to be a part of the group.

Planet Wisdom is an important partner in youth work for LHC. We attend a conference annually that features relavent, in depth teaching, contemporary music, and comedy with teaching. Additionally, Mark Matlock, the ministry leader and speaker, provides forums for churches to communicate ongoing needs that he can address in the conferences.
Blood & Fire San Antonio is a our designated regional ministry of focus. Our youth have been doing mission work in the inner city of San Antonio off and on for 8 years. Mark & Susie Roye have found their place in the hearts of the Hispanic community within the inner city. They have started sports teams and work with youth diligently to keep them from joining gangs and getting into drugs. There is not enough we could do for Blood & Fire San Antonio, but it is a privilege to do what we can as a church.
