Why We Do This

At Hope City, we believe caring for people is at the center of what it means to follow Jesus. Our Benevolence Team exists to extend His love by offering practical support, encouragement, and hope to those walking through difficult seasons.

We approach every request with compassion and dignity — leaning toward generosity while stewarding resources wisely and prayerfully. Our goal is simple: meet real needs, point people to Jesus, and reflect His heart FOR Sarasota.

Our convictions

Biblical Calling

God has always called His people to care for those in need, and the early church modeled this with generosity and compassion. By following that example, we reflect the heart of Jesus in a tangible way.

Love in Action

Meeting practical needs shows that our faith is more than words — it’s active and lived out. When people experience real help, they experience the love of God up close.

Wise Stewardship

A dedicated team ensures every request is handled with prayer, discernment, and fairness. This allows us to use the resources God has entrusted to us with purpose and integrity.

Community Witness

When Sarasota sees the church stepping in to meet real needs, it strengthens our testimony of who Jesus is. Compassion opens doors for trust, conversation, and transformation.

“Compassion is love in motion — it’s what happens when the heart of God moves through the hands of His people.”

“Compassion doesn’t just notice brokenness — it steps toward it with hope, believing God can restore what feels lost.”
