What’s Happening at Hope?
Building Hope for Tomorrow is all about mission and outreach. We’re building and renovating holy spaces to share the spiritually-refreshing and soul-renewing power and light of God’s amazing love with our neighbors and the world around us.
Each week throughout 2025, we’ll take on one of the 52 most asked questions of faith. Weekly sermons, podcasts, classes, small group discussion guides, daily devotions, and more will help us discover God’s truth and his freedom-producing answers to our best questions!
Friday, Jan. 31, 6:30-8:30 pm
Dads and daughters age 3 – grade 6 are invited to join us for an evening of dancing and fun! Tickets ($7.50 per person in advance; $10 at the door) include crafts, games, dessert and beverages. Professional photographers will be on hand for an additional cost.
Tuesdays, Feb. 4-25, 6:30-8:00 pm
Hope Groups Kickoff is a class for anyone looking to get into a small group (Hope Group). In this class, participants will meet new people, form a group, start a book study of “Practicing the Way” by John Mark Comer, and make a plan for continuing on together once the class is over.
Feb. 8-9
Help us stock the shelves of every food pantry in our community! Bring your nonperishable food items to Hope during the weekend of the Big Game, or with you when you come to Hope beginning Feb. 3!
All donations will be given to those impacted by the wildfires in California through our mission partner Convoy of Hope.

Find a Class
Following Jesus is a growing experience. Even the most mature Christians continue to move around the Hope Circle. We have hundreds of classes and events to help you on your journey, including The Alpha Course, Bible studies, support groups, prayer classes and many more. There’s something for everyone at Hope!
Join a Group
Find your people! At first Hope might seem like a big place, but if you stop and take a look around, you’ll notice we have all kinds of small groups doing book or Bible studies together. Make new friends, do life together, pray for one another, and create enduring relationships whether you’re an introvert or extrovert. We’re better together!
Volunteer at Hope
Serving others is one of the greatest blessings from God. Bring glory to God and shine your light to the world! Be a greeter, help serve food, teach children, mentor a junior high school student, run audiovisuals, play in the orchestra, be a prayer partner or go on a mission trip. There are all kinds of ways to be the hands and feet of Jesus to our brothers and sisters in Christ.
