A Friendly Welcome
One of our core values is creating a church where people feel like they belong. When you first arrive you should be greeted by someone welcoming you to church!
What to Expect
Planning Your Visit
We know visiting a church can sometimes be awkward and you don't always know what to expect. So below are some things you can expect when you walk in the doors!
Parking: Google or Apple Maps will often bring you to the northwest corner of our building (across from Discovery and Parkside Elementary schools). Our parking lot is on the East side of the block (the parking lot by our church), and the smaller church building on the opposite corner is ours too. Many people utilize Door 1 or Door 2 to come into the church! See you soon!
Nursery & Kids Ministry
At Hope Community, we offer Nursery and Preschool for the entire Sunday morning service, where you can check them in and drop them off. Our volunteers are background-checked and love kids, so you can enjoy service knowing they are in good hands! Elementary-aged kids will start service with you in the sanctuary, then be dismissed for their own age-appropriate Bible lesson with more screened volunteers who want to provide a fun, safe place for kids to experience God!
Music with a Purpose
There are so many ways one can worship God, but one of the main ways for us on Sundays is through music. We will sing songs (mostly contemporary but some traditional hymns) that help us express our love and devotion to Christ and what He has done in our lives. People respond to God in different ways but many clap and raise their hands as they worship so don't be surprised when that happens.
Relevant Messages
One of the amazing aspects of the Bible is that even though it is thousands of years old it still has the power to speak and impact our lives today. We desire to preach messages that are grounded in solid Biblical doctrine and stay consistent with our belief that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God. Our communicators desire to encourage and challenge the listener to live out their faith not just in service but throughout the week in their everyday lives. At the end of each message, you will be given a chance to respond in some way or another to apply what you have heard.
