GROW NIGHT
One of the ways we love to do life together is to read together, and then discuss what we’ve read in groups! Join us every Wednesday where your entire family can come to church and grow together. There’s something for everyone, all ages included! Every Wednesday Flourish, Men’s Thing and Marrieds gather. On the first Wednesday of every month, we will have an all-together prayer service in lieu of group. Learn more.
ROOTED
We’re so glad you are here! We would love to invite you to take the next step with us as you discover more about our church. Join us for Rooted (formerly Welcome Home), a three-part class where you’ll hear the story and heart of Living Hope, discover your spiritual gifts, learn our spiritual practices and more. This class is a space for intentional conversation around a meal so that we can best support you as you become a life-long follower of Jesus. We'll meet for three Wednesday night dinners hosted by our pastors. Here, we will walk through what it looks like to be a “Living Hoper". Register today and Welcome Home!
Our Practices
Our mission is to help you become a lifelong follower of Jesus. We do that by practicing and developing these five practices in our lives:
-
We encourage everyone to practice a weekly Sabbath dinner where they can delight in their family, spouse, kids, or if single, friends or relatives, and then conclude Sabbath at another table, the Lord’s Table, every Sunday morning at one of the services.
-
We invite every person who attends Living Hope to do our daily Devotional Experience. Each year we put out 365 days of Bible reading for Living Hope. You can find it on our website as well as in our Devotional Experience journal.
-
We encourage you to give to God as an act of reverent worship. Give the tithe as a holy portion belonging to Yahweh. As you give the holy portion of your income, you are giving the whole of your income. Give online.
-
We have several different styles and options of groups from live to Zoom, men’s to women’s, marriage, to families, to teens. We cannot do life alone. We grow together as we follow Jesus together. Learn More.
-
Living Hope is a family, God’s family. And just like everyone in a family has responsibilities to make the family work, we all have responsibilities to make our Living Hope family work. As we serve in our church, or homes, and our community, we become the hands and feet of Jesus. Learn More.
