Cohorts are a great place to grow in faith and community.
If you are new to faith, to HOPE, or to small groups — HOPE Cohorts are an excellent place to start.
What is a Cohort?
A cohort is an opportunity to journey with others through a five-week deep dive into topics around our faith — building relationships, and applying God’s Word to everyday life.
At HOPE, we offer five different cohorts you can be a part of. Cohorts are offered on a seasonal rotation.
In every cohort, you can expect the same basic structure. Every week follows the same rhythm — familiar, intentional, and Spirit-led.
The Cohorts:
Scripture
Understanding the Bible -- what it is, why it matters, how to read it.
Foundations
Core beliefs and practices that anchor our faith
Financial Literacy
What does God say about money? Building wise, generous lives.
Community
Prayer
Learning to pray — individually and together as a community.What it means to truly walk with others in faith“I was first introduced to small groups and had an interest due to the loss of my wife in 2021 from Covid and her unexpected passing. I was grieving and the subject was anxiety and faith. I thought that I had tried other support ideas and felt that this was an opportunity to put together my grief and my faith. Since then, it has continued to be a place of great support and community for me.”

That’s completely normal. Many people join a group for the first time at HOPE. You won’t be put on the spot or expected to have all the answers. You can listen, share when you’re ready, and ease in at your own pace.

No. You are always welcome to participate at your comfort level. Some people jump right in, others take time to open up. Both are okay. Small Groups are about creating space where you can be known, not pressured.
-
Some groups offer childcare, and others are family-friendly. Each group is a little different, so we will help you find one that works for your situation.
