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)
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!
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 believe all students deserve the opportunity to experience and learn about the love of God. We seek to provide inclusive opportunities for all students to worship and connect with their peers.
One Body partners with Children’s Ministry to encourage participation in HopeKids. A team member from One Body collaborates with families to choose appropriate programming for children with special needs. Our goal is to ensure children can remain independent as well as included in as much programming as possible. To do this, a team member might “check in” on a child or provide additional coaching to the group shepherd. In other instances, a volunteer may be assigned to work specifically with a child either in the small group setting or in another classroom with alternative programming.
