You can hide in a crowd, but if you really want to get connected, join a small group. HOPE Church has all kinds, some for cutting-edge spiritual growth and others just to make friends.

Supper Clubs - Eight or ten people who meet every month or so at restaurants or homes to get to know each other. CONTACT: HOPE Office

Softball team - If you can throw, catch, run, or cheer, come on out and join the fun. CONTACT: Dennis Kessler

Men’s Ministry Task Force - A group of guys who do what’s needed, fixing stuff around the church, putting up signs, helping in the community, etc. CONTACT: Dennis Kessler

Prayer Shawl Ministry - A group of women gather to knit meaningful gifts for people in need or grief. CONTACT: Judy Beavan

Growth Groups - We’ve pioneered a low-key spiritual growth project, based on basic disciplines of the Christian life. Four people get together weekly for a half hour or less, just to check up with each other, encourage one another, and pray together. CONTACT: Judy Loane

Bible Studies - We have numerous groups meeting for Bible study, or working through Bible-based curriculum, and we’re always creating new groups. CONTACT: HOPE Office
