Social Ministry

And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because he is a disciple—amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward.    (Matthew 10:42)

New Hope is a “service” focused church. There are many ways for you to join us in helping our local community and beyond.

Laundry Love is a nationwide program that assists low income families and individuals in doing their laundry. Having clean laundry is a matter of human dignity. New Hope Church and the Church of the Epiphany of Oak Park have partnered together to launch a Laundry Love program in the Conejo Valley.

Lutheran Social Services – LSS

Located in the city of Thousand Oaks, LSS Ventura County operates and manages emergency assistance programs throughout Conejo Valley. 

Our local food bank, Manna

Founded in 1971 by a group of people who felt that no person should ever go hungry in the Conejo Valley, Manna Conejo Valley Food Bank has been providing food assistance to our friends and neighbors in need for more than 40 years; and have made it our mission — “TO FEED HUNGRY PEOPLE IN THE CONEJO VALLEY.” 

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.    (Ephesians 2:8–10)
Prince of Peace Lutheran Church (ELCA)

Our sister church in Houston suffered great losses from the impact of Hurricane Harvey and then the pandemic.  New Hope is helping!  Through contributions from our congregation we sent Target Stores gift cards this past holiday season to the families needing our support.

Prayer Chain

A New Hope Church “telephone tree” and email group passes along special prayer requests to members of our church who have committed to pray for those needs. Contact Deacon Lynn and Gail McGinnis, are our Prayer Chain coordinators and can be contacted with needed prayer.

Meals for Times in Crisis

Our food committee provides a nutritious meal to those in a time of special circumstances.  If you would like to provide a tangible gift of love to someone in need and you enjoy cooking for others, please contact the church office (818-889-8700).
