Introducing Hope Series.

If you want to learn more about Hope or are considering membership, we invite you to attend Introducing Hope.

This is a six week series which is a vehicle for learning more about the Christian faith and Hope Church. Participation doesn't require a commitment to join the church. There are no strings attached!

What to Expect

  • Introducing Hope Series (IHS) is a six consecutive week introduction to the Christian faith and Hope Church led by Hope Pastors and Staff. 
  • All persons who desire to become members of Hope are asked to attend IHS.
  • IHS is offered seven times throughout the year with 3 to 4 class options available each time.
  • Persons who miss a class session are asked to make it up at a later class.  (Some may choose to repeat the entire series at a later date).
  • Those who choose to become members will be asked to give a brief description of their spiritual journey including how they came to trust Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord.  New members are also asked to complete and turn in all membership forms during the last session of IHS.
  • New members will be introduced to the congregation at a worship service the week following the completion of the class.
  • Youth IHS Classes are offered two times a year for grades 6-12. It is the basic material but it is 5 weeks instead of 6 weeks. For more information and to sign up, contact Jane Hillis.
