We’re so grateful you’ve found us. Our hope is that from the moment you connect with our campus, you feel genuinely welcomed and discover a place where you truly belong. We’re a community of people learning and growing together—discovering more about Jesus and what it means to live in the reality that we are fully known and fully loved by Him. No matter where you’re coming from or where you are in your journey, there’s a place for you here.

I’m Shawna, and I’m the Interim Lead Pastor of the Birmingham campus. My husband, Ryan, and I have been married for 25 years and have two boys. As a family, we love snowboarding, hiking, and finding any excuse for a new adventure. More than anything, we’re passionate about Jesus and seeing people experience His love and the life-changing transformation that comes through Him.

What Does It Mean To Be On The Team?

We are grateful for you and your decision to be a part of the Hope Water Project community! Together, we can change lives!

We are here to support you and encourage you through the process; whether you are a walker, a runner, a cyclist, a volunteer or “outside the box” fundraiser – you are moving out and we appreciate
you!

YOU are changing lives! As a team, we come together to train, to volunteer and to support and encourage one another. We participate in events through the year and we raise awareness of the need for clean water. Your fundraising helps to build wells that impact the lives of the Pokot.

So your next step depends on what you want to do and how you want to step out!

A great first step is to join our mailing list to stay up to date on all our events and opportunities to jump in!

Next, visit our events page for upcoming opportunities to jump in. Sign up’s will be made available as we get closer to event dates and will be posted on the event page and emailed to our community.

And most important, setup your fundraising page! Whether you walk, run, cycle or volunteer – everyone can participate in fundraising.

And last, connect with us. Follow us on social media and join us on our mission to provide clean water!
