Celebration Services

Come and See! 

At Hope, we know worship is a “getta” instead of a “gotta!” In our worship and in our ministry, we intentionally offer a wide variety of options – traditional and contemporary, in person and online – to reach people of all ages and backgrounds. Whatever service you choose, you will always receive a warm welcome at a church that loves you and loves to worship the Lord!

Hope’s Celebration Services are high-energy, contemporary, Spirit-filled services in the Worship Center:
Saturday, 5:00 pm
Sunday, 8:00, 9:30 & 11:00 am and 5:00 pm

For the Kids

We’re kid- and family-focused at Hope! Kids are always welcome to be with you in the Worship Center. If you’d rather have them attend Hope’s version of Sunday school, they are always welcome at HopeKids
 
We also offer childcare for infants – age 3 in the Nursery at all services and for many classes and events. The nursery opens 15 minutes prior to the start of events and worship.  
 
For children age 3 (by Sept. 15 and potty-trained) through grade 5, HopeKids takes place on Saturdays at 5:00 pm and Sundays at 9:30 & 11:00 am. Check in kids at the welcome desks located by the main entrance or by the Youth & Family entrance on the east side of the building.

Yearly Theme: A Church After God’s Own Heart

Ten sermon series over 12 months that challenge each one of us individually as Christians, and collectively as a church, to consider how we might draw closer to God and discover the purpose of life this side of heaven. Join us as we focus in on the four “G’s” Gather, Grow, Group and Give – and live out God’s calling for us both individually and as a church family!
