What to expect

Our Sunday morning worship serves begins at 10:30am and concludes at 12:00 pm. Teams of members from the congregation assist the pastor in leading the worship time.

Our service includes times of praise, confession, prayer, giving and preaching. No visitor is ever pressured to give financially. Our offering is only intended for those who consider Hope their church home. The sermon lasts 30 minutes. It is based upon a passage of the Bible and always aims at explaining the Bible and applying it to our lives today.

Childcare and Nursery

Four year olds and younger should be taken to their classes before the service begins.

Kindergartners through 2nd Graders participate in the first portion of our worship service, and are later dismissed during the service to their "Children's Church" program.

Communion

We celebrate Holy Communion every Sunday.

What should I wear to church?

You are welcome to dress casually or more formally, according to your preferences. If the meaningfulness of our worship fails to eclipse concerns over how anyone is dressed, we have failed to be the kind of church that genuinely represents Jesus.

How long will the service last?

Our service begins at 10:30am and ends at 12:00 pm.

Will I have to say anything, give anything, or be singled out in any way?

Nobody at Hope wants to put you on the spot. Feel free to visit and observe, your level of participation will be on your terms, in your time. The door to Hope Church is open wide, but nobody is going to push you through it!

Will you talk about money?

Not all the time, but-to be candid-sometimes, yes. Rest assured that no one is ever pressured to give. The offering is provided for those who consider Hope their church home. However, Jesus talked about money, not because he was greedy (he died with only one garment to his name) but because he didn't want us living as though our life consists in the things we possess. Few will deny that in these days we need to hear his challenge against materialism all the more.

Do my kids come into the worship service?

Children four years old and younger should be taken to their assigned classroom before the service begins at 10:30. Children from 5 years old through 2nd Grade begin in the worship service and after approximately twenty minutes are dismissed to Childrens Church, except during the last week of the month. Children 3rd Grade and older stay with their parents during the worship service.
