Why Hope Collective?

Transforming Our Communities One Neighbor at a Time

Imagine…More than 540,000 people live in the seven counties at the heart of PA (2010 Census). About 11% of them consider themselves part of an evangelical church. Over 305,000 people have no affiliation with any church. Imagine if we could double the number of Christ-followers in Central PA by 2030. 22%. Life as we know it, would change, but we can imagine it. God can do immeasurably more than we can imagine (Ephesians 3:21). Doesn’t that give you hope?

What is the Central PA Hope Collective?

It is a gathering of community leaders from faith communities in Central PA who have hope for and want to give hope to the cities, towns, and villages of Central PA.

We believe that together we can help central PA thrive in every way – spiritually, relationally, emotionally, and economically.

Who is Sponsoring this Gathering?

Calvary Church is functioning as a convener and a number of local congregations, individuals, and businesses are giving to keep this gathering an affordable opportunity for all the leaders who desire to come.
