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!
At Hope, there are numerous ways for you to connect and plug in. From joining a small group to signing up for a class, there’s something for everyone – young, old, new to faith or seasoned Christian. There’s a place for you and we hope you will jump right now!
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)
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!
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!
Bible-based giving isn’t about guilt or pressure. It’s about discovering the joy of cheerful generosity in response to God’s amazing grace. All we have is a gift from God, and we’re created to give, not just consume. As followers of Jesus, we don’t give to get noticed, or to get something back. Instead, we give freely and generously to God for the mission of his church from what God has first given us. At Hope, we take seriously the responsibility to distribute offerings faithfully. Our financial books are open to church members, and we’re fast approaching our goal to become a 50/50 church – giving half of all offerings to our local and global mission partners.
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.

“We’re better together!” We tend to say that a lot around here. And, we say it because it’s true. God created us to live in community with one another. The purpose of Hope’s Life Groups ministry is to bring people together in growing, Christ-centered relationships. Life Groups at Hope are small groups of people who meet regularly to pray together, connect in Christ-centered relationships, grow in their relationship with God, and serve the world around them.
Here at Hope, we have five main ways for people to join a Life Group. We encourage you to check out one of the options below:
A Life Group is fairly easy to get started. If you’re interested in starting a group on your own, simply follow the five short steps below and you’ll be all ready to go!
Submit Life Group info Once you’ve selected a group leader, have them fill out our Life Group info form with your new group’s info. A staff member will then be in touch with you shortly. They’ll be able to support your group in becoming all that God’s calling your group to be. Leaders will receive a monthly email that will provide them tips, resources and information for leading the group well.
If you already have a Life Group, but would like to add more people for any reason, consider taking or re-taking one of our group-focused classes. Register for one of the following classes together and invite people from class to continue meeting with you and your Life Group.
