Have you ever wondered ...

What, exactly, does it take to become a “member” of the HOPE congregation?

Because we value your time and your willing spirit to continue on your journey of faith, we’ve developed our H7 program.

H7 is a component-based educational opportunity giving you flexibility as you learn foundational truths important to the HOPE family. By rotating the sessions, you may pick them at your own pace. That way, if you’re available for one class one month, but can’t attend another class until another month, you’re still on track. H7 classes are available to everyone, members and non-members alike. Classes are held in the chapel each Sunday morning at 9 am.
