Greetings!

Thank you for visiting the HOPE website. Whether you are planning a visit to one of our worship experiences or just curious about HOPE Church, we would like to take a moment here to welcome you and to assist you in your visit.

HOPE is made up of a group of people, a Church, who are seeking to follow Jesus Christ with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength: to let God love us, to love Him in return, and to love others in His name. We don’t follow perfectly, but our desire is that all of us will grow in our following. We want to learn more and more how to live in the love that God has for us and how to love the others around us.

Wherever you are at spiritually you are welcome here at HOPE. When you choose to attend one of the Sunday services (9:00am, 10:30am, or 6:00pm) we are confident that you will experience the presence of God and that you will sense His love. Our prayer is that all of us will know in an increasing way, no matter what things are a part of our past, how much we are loved by God.

Blessing on you,

Pastor Paul

Resources

Here are some helpful pieces of information for our Guests:

“Taste of HOPE” for all our Guests

Once a month we offer a 10 to 15 minute mini-party to all our recent guests. This time together is an opportunity to hear a bit about HOPE Church, have a small snack, and of course every party needs a gift so we will give you a gift as well.

Taste of HOPE happens following the 1st or 2nd Worship hours on the Third Sunday of each month (except December – there is a much more significant party that happens in December – the Birth of our Savior and Lord). For more information you can call our Taste of HOPE team coordinator: Pastor Bruce at bhelgeson@gfhope.org

Education Opportunities

You can check out our education opportunities under the “Ministries” tab on our main page. But here are the basics.

• Nursery: Nursery services, actually we think of it as ministry to you and your child, is provided during all our Sunday worship experiences for children 0 to 3 years of age.
• HOPEKIDZ - ages 3 - 6th grade: On Sundays at 10:30 our kids gather for HOPEKidz classes. Some of us may know it as Sunday School but we like to think of it as a gathering to help train and equip our kids to live their lives as followers of Jesus Christ and to learn how to do this in a very fun and energized environment. Check out HOPEKids under the Ministries tab at the top of our home page.
