Community Groups
Meaningful relationships, spiritual growth, and faith lived out together
Two ways to join a group
Fall groups kick off the week of September 27 and run for eight weeks.
Midweek Together
Beginning Wednesday, September 30, join us for an eight-week midweek gathering around tables in the auditorium. This is a great opportunity to build community and dive more deeply into Scripture and the previous Sunday's sermon in a guided format. If you're new to Hope or haven't yet connected to a group, this is for you!
Dinner will be available from 6–6:45 p.m. (with a suggested donation to cover costs) and childcare will be provided.
