Each week, our services at Hope bring thousands of people together to celebrate the power of God’s life-changing love! Whatever service you choose – large or small, contemporary or traditional, weekend or midweek – you will always receive a warm welcome at a church that loves you, and loves to worship the Lord!

One of our Core Values at Hope is that following Jesus is a growing experience. We can't outgrow Christian faith. As modern day disciples of Jesus Christ, we are called to move from spiritual infancy to spiritual maturity For this reason, we strive to bring people into an ever-growing relationship with Jesus Christ. This growth best happens in life groups (Acts 2:42-47). As we grow in faith, we turn our hearts to God, giving of ourselves and our resources – freely and cheerfully (2 Corinthians 9:7)

Serve

Serving others is one of the greatest blessings God offers us. Acts of selfless service allow us to bring glory to God and shine his light in this world! Whether you are looking to serve here at Hope, or outside in our community or around the world, we have a number of places for you to jump right in and be the hands and feet of Jesus to our brothers and sisters in Christ!

Care

The Care Ministry exists to reach out to the members, friends, and families of the church and community, and share the everlasting love of Jesus Christ with those in need of special care. The people serving in this ministry seek to be present during the storms of life, bringing the presence of Christ and the promises of God. We welcome the opportunity to discuss how we can best support you!

Youth

We believe kids are important because God believes kids are important! Through dynamic teaching, worship, and activities, our hope it is to reach kids with the love of Jesus and teach them all we can about him! We want them to know God made them, that he is their friend, and that they can be real and honest with God.

HOPE LOCAL SITES

Hope’s mission is to reach out to the world around us and share the everlasting love of Jesus Christ! Hope Local sites launched in an effort to bring the gospel to those who do not live near a current Hope campus; where individuals can connect to, and worship with, others right where they are! Hope Local sites consist of 10-100 individuals who desire to gather together for worship, mission and discipleship. They worship together weekly via a live broadcast from our West Des Moines campus on Sundays at 9:30 am CT.

Hope Local Testimonials

Kansas City

Hope Local KC has brought our family closer together, with a strength of faith that had been missing for a decade. We are a busy family with two working parents so our weekend routine involved chores, recharging, traveling to see family, and attending sporting events. Then a friend mentioned a new church casually, which happened to be meeting a mile from our house. Throwing on our Hope t-shirts, grabbing donuts, and showing up for church together started to click every week. It’s amazing to know this small group is here for us, and we look forward to furthering our faith and involvement with all of Hope in the future.
