Playground is where we love and care for our newborns through pre-K children. Register your little ones at our sign-in table. If you have a baby or toddler, take him right into the nursery. If you have a preschooler, she will go into the worship service with you and will be dismissed during the break along with the other children. The preschoolers go to their own class for playtime, a lesson, a snack, and a craft.
For our K-5th graders we have the Treehouse that introduces truths through the large group, when a storyteller shares an interactive Bible story, and the small group times when leaders help the children memorize verses and apply truths to their own lives. This year we are helping our children put the storyline of the Bible together by using The Gospel Project.
Hope Church Youth (6-12th grade students) meet Sunday nights from 5:30-7:30. During that time, students often bring snacks to share, spend time learning God's Word, and have a little fun together. Visitors are always welcome.
Throughout the year, the students will participate in camps (winter & summer), local youth gatherings, and other events. Visitors are always welcome.
When you start attending the youth group, you will be studying the book "Christian Beliefs" by Wayne Grudem. In addition to a reading assignment each week, each student will be given a workbook to complete.
Upon completion of the "Basic Beliefs" Study, students will begin a "How to Study the Bible?" series from "30 Days to Understanding the Bible" by Max Anders.
Women's Bible Study begins Feb 7. The study will meet in the fellowship hall from 9:30-11:30 and the cost is $20. The study will be from The Gospel-Centered Life by Thune & Walker and will be taught by Andy Wulff
Sign up with Melissa Wulff on Sunday.
For the believer who is tired of quasi-spiritual lifehacks being passed off as true, down-and-dirty discipleship, here is a discipleship book that isn't afraid to be honest about the mess we call real life. With incisive wit, warm humor, and moving stories, Jared Wilson shows readers how the gospel works in them and in their lives when
- they can't get their act together
- they think God is giving them the silent treatment
- they think church would be better without all the people
- they're not happy with the person in the mirror
- and much more
Wilson frees readers from the self-doubt and even the misplaced self-confidence they may feel as they walk with Jesus down the often difficult road of life. The result is a faith that weathers storms, lifts burdens, and goes forth to make more imperfect disciples.

When we come into the family of God we are not just isolated individuals but members of a community. We believe that beyond just "attending" a church that we must be linked in vital relationship where we can worship, study, and "experience life" together.
At Hope we have chosen to do this through community groups that meet throughout the week in various locations and different times. Below you will find a map marking the general area in which various groups meet. If you click on the "tacks" you can find more information about the meeting and a contact person.
