Ordinary people who pursue the great commission and the great commandment without hesitation.

That the people who make up the church would learn to love one another -- it's rarely observed. Without love we are a clanging cymbal.

My hope for the church is that we can truly love unconditionally. A love that has no strings attached no gimmicks true unadulterated love! My mother committed suicide on my 30th birthday.Reflecting back, I realize all her life she was crying out for the church, someone to love her with the kind of love that she longed for and desired! Yes a love that is lived without conditions!

My hope for the church is that we would see all people, believers & non-believers alike through the loving eyes of Christ, & that we would reach out, through the power of the Holy Spirit to all those we encounter with understanding & compassion, never condemnation & criticism.

To be a place where people connect to God and connect with each other!!!

I pray that Church is one day dissociated from the word Christianity and that your magazine changes its name too.

My hope for the church is that everyone plays their part, humbly and diligently, looking to the good of others, praying and relying on God.

my hope for the church (the people of GOD) is that real love and compassion would be given to each other as Jesus told us ('... that you love one another'). and that real love and compassion would be given to those who don't like us or act like us or treat us unkindly. that we would show respect and kindness to muslims, liberals, gays, amillenialists homeless and all the others we have chosen to shun ... not as Jesus told us (luke 10.37 'go and do likewise.').

My hope for the church is that each member would preach the gospel at all times, and, if necessary, use words. --St. Francis of Assissi
