Festival co-ordinator, Russell Martin, explains more about what brought Hope Festival about: “As a church we wanted to do something that would serve our town, give people some really fun experiences and even help people discover fresh HOPE for the future. We decided to put on a wide range of events and activities, some of which are regular activities run by the church, as a way of putting our faith in Jesus into action. Often people perceive the church as a stuffy old place, that you go to (and often come away feeling worse than you did before you went!) but we believe church is a vibrant, encouraging and helping community, which doesn’t just welcome people in but goes and meets people outside the building.”
