IMPACT

Being With, Thinking Like, Being Mistaken For Jesus in Our Local and Global Communities

Our Vision

At Copper Hills, we’re passionate about helping people encounter the truth of Jesus—both locally and around the world. Our Impact missions efforts are centered on supporting church planting through local leaders who are reaching their own communities in their own language and culture with the hope of the gospel. By partnering with trusted pastors and ministries across Europe, we have the privilege of coming alongside what God is already doing and supporting the growth of healthy, gospel-centered churches.

Read on to learn more about our Impact partners and how you can get involved.

Our Partners

We currently partner with ministries in Ireland, Romania, Hungary, and Croatia who are faithfully planting and leading churches in their communities. These pastors and their teams are committed to sharing the good news of Jesus in meaningful and culturally relevant ways, building relationships, discipling people, and helping local churches thrive. We’re grateful to support their work through prayer, encouragement, and financial partnership.

Each of our Impact partners has a unique story, ministry focus, and opportunity for involvement. We invite you to learn more about the work happening in each location, how God is moving through these ministries, and ways you can pray, support, or potentially serve alongside them in the future.

The New Hope church plant in Novi Marof, Croatia is led by Jonathan and Danijela Vukov and is part of the broader New Hope movement. Located between Zagreb and Varaždin—an area that went decades without an evangelical church presence—the ministry is helping bring the hope of Jesus to the local community through faithful church planting and discipleship.

Through worship gatherings, children’s ministry, family outreach, and youth events, the church is creating opportunities for people of all ages to encounter the gospel, grow in their faith, and experience authentic Christian community.
