Getting Connected

Church communications
We use a variety of tools to communicate with our church family.
Broadly, we use our website: hcclennoxville.ca to share general information about our church. We also post encouraging or uplifting thoughts related to the previous Sunday’s message on our Facebook page(facebook.com/hcc.lennoxville/). Our Youtube channel (youtube.com/c/hcclennoxville) is the place to find our Sunday morning livestream as well the archive of previous Sunday services and other videos that we’ve created.
The Weekly Report
We communicate more pertinent events, activities and updates through our weekly report email that goes out every Thursday. We highly recommend that everyone subscribe to receive this email as it has replaced the weekly bulletin of years past. The information shared in the weekly report email is also available in our Church Center App or through this link: https://hcclennoxville.churchcenter.com/

For time sensitive updates and targeted reminders we occasionally send out text messages to those members of the church family who have opted in to receiving communications in that way. We also send push notifications through the Church Center App. We’re very sensitive to the risk of information overload and so we are careful to not send out more than one or two unsolicited messages every week.
Our team also endeavours to communicate individually with members of the church family in each person’s preferred medium, whether that be by phone, email, text message, Facebook messenger, or some other tool. Obviously face to face meetings are always enjoyed as well.
You’re welcome to contact the church office by phone at 819-822-2627 or by email at info@hcclennoxville.ca
You can reach the members of our staff, Daniel, Kevin, Mike or Sophie by email using firstname@hcclennoxville.ca.

Finances

Offerings
Hope Community Church operates financially trusting God to provide through the generosity of our members. We don’t take up an offering during our services, instead we invite people to take the initiative to give as the Lord leads them. How much a person gives, and when they give is a matter between them and the Lord. We endeavour to make giving to the Lord’s work here as simple as possible so we offer several ways to make donations.
  • Offering boxes are located on each floor. One is located just beside the Audio Visual booth upstairs and the other is located on a pillar just as you enter the basement hall from the parking lot entrance. If you choose to give via the offering box we can supply you with offering envelopes which will allow us to keep track of who has given, and how much. If you’d like a box of envelopes, see Mike Enns.
  • Online giving by credit card or by debit card is done at hcclennoxville.churchcenter.com/giving or through the Church Center app. We encourage people to give online but please don’t incur credit card debt to do so.
We do at least a two business meetings each year to keep the congregation up to date on where we stand financially. Usually we will hold a business meeting in the fall and other in the spring.
General Fund and Special Funds

The general fund is used to maintain our operations. We use this fund to purchase material for our programs and activities, pay our electric bills, compensate our pastors and intern, and much more.

We have special funds to help meet specific needs in our community and in the world. These include:
Cornerstone Food Bank
Compassionate Care fund (also known as the Barnabas fund)
Various missions funds (Nepal, Haiti, Brazil)
And more.
