Learning About God Has Never Been More Fun!
HopeKids (Hope’s version of Sunday School) is our high-energy, weekend program for potty-trained children age 3 (by Sept. 15) through grade 5.

HopeKids Sermon Series
The Sermon on the Mount
The Sermon on the Mount is the longest and most well-known of the teachings that Jesus delivers in the Gospels. In it, Jesus unveils the beautiful Kingdom that Jesus came to usher into the world. He teaches (among other things) about those whom God blesses, the need for God’s law and grace, the gift of generosity, and how to deal with worry. Don’t miss this power-packed four-week series as we dive into this powerful teaching.
