Ax Church pours into 18 communities for Hope Week 2022

 

 
UNDATED – Hope is the feeling that something good could happen, and that is the sentiment Ax Church is aiming to deliver this season through their 8th Annual Hope Week. This year 18 communities were blessed through the LaSalle-based church’s 28 community service projects all in seven days. Lead Pastor Cameron Graper says whether you believe in the faith or not, he feels his church should be representative of hope in the community.

From North to South and everywhere in between, over the past seven years, Hope Week has accomplished over 11,000 hours of community service and 115,000 into the community.

Graper says Ax Church now averages over 2,000 hours of community service. This year the church is on pace to give away over $35,000 through materials used for various projects.
Projects around North Central Illinois included DePue Lake, Peru Library, Mendota at Abigail’s Women’s clinic, and Hegelar Carus Mansion in LaSalle to name a few.
