Hands and Feet Service Ministry

The Hands and Feet Ministry exists to see God transform the city of Minneapolis and Hope Community Church by engaging all Hope Attendees into active, selfless service that reflects the love of Christ to our local community.

Throughout the year, the Hands and Feet Team provides resources and opportunities to serve, supports individuals who have the call to serve in a specific way or for a specific community, and gathers people to share, educate, and sharpen each other in the life of being a servant.
