Living Hope Community Church

What Living Hope Community Church does

Living Hope Community Church is a non-denominational Christian church organized as an independent non-profit religious entity, founded in 1997 in Bedminster, Pennsylvania, and currently headquartered in Perkasie, PA with two physical campuses in Dublin and Doylestown. The church operates a multi-site model under the leadership of Lead Pastor Eugene Miller (serving since 1999) and an Elder Board, delivering worship services, children's ministry (Hope Kids), student ministry (Hope Students), adult discipleship pathways (Next Steps, Life Groups), and care ministries including cancer support, addiction recovery, and a Friday Dublin Food Pantry.

The church's core digital infrastructure is built on the third-party Church Center platform, which handles online giving, group management, event registration, volunteer sign-ups, prayer requests, and child check-in across both campuses. Sermon distribution occurs via YouTube live streaming from Dublin and on-demand uploads from Doylestown, supplemented by the RightNow Media faith-based video library and Google/Apple Calendar integrations for student ministry groups. The organization also operates Good Beginnings Preschool & Kindergarten as a wholly-owned subsidiary ministry at the Doylestown Campus.

Revenue is generated entirely through voluntary donations and contributions from congregation members, including tithes, offerings, and a designated benevolence fund, with no pricing for spiritual services. The church's stated mission is to share the Living Hope of Jesus with the community and the world, supported by international mission partnerships in Nicaragua (Compassion International sponsorship, FOAM trips), Romania, France, Indonesia, and Azerbaijan. As a non-profit, it operates without external equity ownership, private equity, or venture capital, governed autonomously by its Elder Board and staff leadership.

Comparable to Living Hope in non-denominational identity, contemporary worship, multi-site expansion via mergers/planting, and use of online streaming.

Others

• Compassion International: Large faith-based humanitarian organization and Living Hope's international child-sponsorship partner. Relevant as an ecosystem peer rather than a competitor — both share a faith-based donor-engagement model, but their core functions (church operations vs. child sponsorship) differ.
• Crossroads Pregnancy Center: Faith-based pregnancy resource center and active Living Hope community partner in Bucks County. Relevant as a local faith-based nonprofit ecosystem peer with overlapping donor/constituent base in the same geography.

Broad incumbents

• North Point Ministries: Andy Stanley-founded multi-campus church network based in the Atlanta area that pioneered the multi-site model Living Hope is replicating with its Dublin/Doylestown campuses. Comparable as a benchmark for decentralized campus operations, centralized teaching, and community-group ministry.
• Saddleback Church: Historic multi-site Southern California megachurch with regional campuses, known for small-group-driven PEACE Plan community outreach. Comparable in scale of multi-site operations and global mission/partnership orientation.
