(For more information on each of these ministries please email the church at office@livinghopechurchoc.com or call 503.655.7390)

Youth
The youth meet every Wednesday, 6:00 to 8:00 PM, for a time of hanging out and getting to know God, His Word and others. All teens are invited to this and other youth activities.
Life Groups run from September to May and are generally 12 people or less. Their purpose is to create a smaller community where sharing and mutual concern can more effectively take place. They include times of sharing, prayer, informal study of God's Word... and sometimes food!
Women's Ministries
Women’s Ministries at LHC is referred to as “Women of Hope” (W.O.H.). Our mission statement is “To walk alongside women to encourage and equip them to fulfill God’s purpose for their lives and for God’s glory.”

Our women grow in the Lord through ongoing ladies Bible Studies. The women are encouraged and supported with meaningful events that encourage community, create connection, give hope, and inspire women to examine their own situations and circumstances in light of their walk with God and their relationship with Jesus. Our ministry has an ongoing service ministry of collecting baby items throughout the year for Obria, a free Women’s Health Clinic, which culminates in a hands-on project every December, creating baby bundles for the clinic.
Men's Ministries
The men of the church meet at 8:30 on the third Saturday of each month for breakfast or donuts and coffee. The goal is to connect with each other, talk about what concerns us as men, and encourage each other in our responsibilities as men and our walk with God.
The Men of Issachar leadership training, a higher commitment men's meeting, began on June 21 and meets monthly.
A.C.T.
Praise, biblically-based teaching, discipleship, and evangelism are the meat of who we are as a local church. Another key ingredient in our ministries is fellowship. True Christian fellowship is based on our mutual experience in growing in Christ and is created by the Holy Spirit who unites us. The A.C.T. program seeks to reinforce this fellowship by recognizing that within the body of Christ there are groups of people with shared interests which may not appear to be particularly "spiritual" but which create opportunities to connect. It seeks to use those natural interests to promote getting to know each other better.
