The information below will be helpful
in letting you know what goes on on Sunday mornings.
Please visit our GUEST GUIDE
for other helpful information.
Service Times Please join us as we gather to worship,
fellowship, learn, grow and encourage one another. We
have three worship services each Sunday at 8:10,
9:30, and 11:00 AM
in our Worship Center.
Though we don't have
a worship service on Sunday evenings, there are a number
of study and fellowship groups that meet at that time
and all throughout the week.
What are your services like?
Our services are usually 65-70 minutes long. In all
three services, you can expect to interact with people
who are glad to see you. We generally spend time singing
together, praying, reading from the Bible, and listening
to truth about how we can better love God and others.
The topics you'll hear about are practical, dealing
with everyday issues like finances, relationships, marriage,
singleness, and important social issues. We also examine
the lives of those written about in the Bible so that
we can learn from their successes and failures.
We
often incorporate other elements into our services such
as a drama, video, or musical selection that helps drive
home the theme or topic we're discussing. We celebrate
baptism and communion together on a regular basis too.
We provide our congregation with the opportunity to
support the ministry of New Hope as offering plates
are passed each week. As our guest, we want you to feel
no obligation to participate in the offering.
8:10 AM Classic Service
This service is more reflective in nature and is designed
for those who come from a traditional background. The
Classic Service is great for those who enjoy a little
less volume and energy. While we do use the praise band
and contemporary choruses during this service, we also
incorporate the organ and traditional hymns to provide
a bit more “classic” flavor to this service.
9:30 & 11:00 AM Contemporary Services These two identical services are
more celebratory in nature and are designed for those
who enjoy modern worship styles. These services are
great for those who enjoy more volume and a more energetic
atmosphere. Our praise band leads us with a great blend
of modern worship music and classic hymns.
Childcare Free nursery care is available for
infants (SC 115) and toddlers (SC 118) during all Sunday
morning services. A quiet, comfortable Mother's Room
is provided in our Preschool Wing (SC 120) for nursing
infants.
Because your child's safety is of utmost
importance to us, we carefully screen childcare volunteers
and utilize a controlled check-in and check-out process
for your children. Our silent-alert pagers will let
you know the moment your child needs you.
Children's
and Student Ministries
During the 8:00 AM service, classes are offered for
preschool children up through Kindergarten. During the
9:30 and 11:00 AM services, we have age-appropriate
classes available for children and students. Preschool
classes up to Kindergarten take place in the South Campus
while 1st through 12th grades meet in the North Campus
just across the street. Discover more about our Children's
or Student
Ministries.
Adult Ministries
Young Adults, Adults, and Seniors have the opportunity
to meet for study, discussion and fellowship in our
LIFE Groups each Sunday morning. These classes are available
during the 9:30 and 11:00 hours. There are also numerous
study, fellowship, ministry and support groups that
meet throughout the week. Discover more about our Connection
Groups.
Welcome
Center
We hope you'll join us this Sunday and we look forward
to meeting you. Attending a new church can be intimidating
at first, so we want to make you at ease as possible.
We encourage you to arrive early to look around the
building, get acquainted with others, locate the nursery
and classrooms for your children, and find a good seat
in the Worship Center.
Our Welcome Center staff and Greeters
are eager to help you in any way possible. Please stop
by the Welcome Center for a free Visitor's Packet and
sermon tape of your choice. Also, feel free to contact
us ahead of time with any questions or for assistance
with driving directions.
