It is never easy to visit a new church for the first time so we want to be as helpful as we can to make your experience a good one. Let's talk about dress. A few people dress up, but most people choose to dress down and come casual. Come the way that you feel most comfortable.
Worship
This time is set aside for communicating with God from our hearts. We have live upbeat worship with guitars, drums -the works, as well as more intimate songs of worship. Everyone worships in their own unique way – for many, that means singing & clapping, and for others it means quietly reflecting on the words. You’re welcome to do whatever makes you feel most comfortable.
Offering
Each week there is a time to worship God through the giving of tithes and offerings. As a guest, please do not feel any pressure to give. This is an act of worship for our regular attendees, allowing them to thank God for all of the great work he is doing in their lives. It also gives New Hope Community the means to reach more people for Christ in the future.
The Message (sermon)
Every weekend, you will hear a relevant, straightforward message that is based on Scripture and is designed to be helpful in your everyday life. We trust that these messages will help you develop a growing, vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ and provide a strong biblical foundation for your life.
Communion
We celebrate communion together. Anyone can participate in this time of reflection and prayer – as long they’ve made the decision to follow Jesus Christ. The juice and bread that we share represent the life He gave up so that our sins could be forgiven.
Growth Groups- (Bible Studies)
Approximately every 12 weeks we start a new series of bible studies held at 5:00 PM on Saturday and 9:30 AM on Sunday. The studies are designed to explore various aspects of the Christian live. The Bible Studies are taught by our members and church staff. We encourage attendees to participate in studies as a way of getting to know our church family better and what we teach about the Word of God.
After the service
Visit
As a guest, you'll be asked to fill out a Blue Connection Card during the service.. After the service stay and talk with our folks. After each worship service we have a fellowship time where pastries and cake are served. We hope you will get to know some of us during that time. Hang out for a while and have some coffee
Pick up your kids
At all our Saturday and Sunday serves we have a child care for children under the age of 6. Our church members staff our childrens programs.. Make sure that you have the security tags that nursery and children's workers gave you when you dropped your kids off so that we can ensure your children's safety. Please pick up your children promptly
