Adult Ministries

Home Churches

Home Churches are small groups of Hopesters who meet regularly to fellowship, study God’s Word, and pray for each other. Most Home Churches share a dinner. They also sometimes get together for a show or ballgame, do service projects, or just have fun. Simply put, they are “being” the church for each other. Lifelong relationships are created and deepened in home churches. These are truly the New Testament models of a Christian lifestyle.

To start or join a Home Church, contact Pastor Bill Beahm.

Hope Institute

One very powerful way to grow deeper in your faith is to attend Hope Institute classes. A range of classes – from theological studies to parenting and marriage studies – are offered at different times during the year. While many of the classes meet on Sunday mornings, some are also offered on weekday evenings.

Current Classes:

Women’s Ministry

This group challenges women to KNOW Christ, to GROW in Christ, and to ECHO His heart to the world. Activities include weekly Bible studies, retreats, social events, and classes … all with relationships in mind.

Women’s Ministry Activities:

Men’s Ministry

At Hope, we desire for Godly men to stand up and be strong! For spiritual calisthenics, some guys get together weekly for lunch and shooting the breeze. There are also manly events that involve BBQ, power tools, 4-wheelers and helicopters.

Men’s Ministry activities:

Young Adult Ministry

Two groups, one for couples, one for singles. They do studies geared for 20- and 30-somethings, and they eat a lot. Group service projects and retreats also serve as ways for young adults to connect with each other.

Senior Adults Ministry

These folks in the 55+ crowd like to get together for food, fellowship, and helping each other out. Watch for special events.

Service Team

This is a practical, “hands on” way of serving others and learning to give more than you get. Men (and women and kids) join forces to help people in need by pounding nails, roofing houses, pouring concrete… you know, building and fixing stuff … all in the name of Christ. Great way to meet other Hopesters and learn new skills.

Prayer Chain

When members of the Hope body, and others, need increased petitioning before God, this team goes into action. If you are a prayer warrior, you’re urged to join the team. To submit a prayer request or for info on the team: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

Hope In Action

Hope In Action is a ministry that shares the love of Christ by seeking out people in our community who are in need of some type of “handyman” or construction services at their homes, and are unable to perform the work themselves. While performing the work, HIA volunteers also minister to the heart of the recipients through fellowship and caring. Typical HIA projects are: clearing debris, painting, rebuilding a porch or wheelchair ramp, repairing a building from storm damage, etc. HIA projects occur monthly. Anyone who is willing can be of use on a HIA project.

Chicken Soup Troop

When a Hopester needs a healing presence, this ministry brings meals and other support to families and individuals who are sick, hospitalized or shut in.

Stephen Ministries

This ministry provides a caring presence and spiritual support to people experiencing emotionally trying times or crisis in their lives. Members of the team undergo special training before being commissioned.

Writing Retreat

A time for quiet, healing... and writing.
This group uses writing therapy to explore all kinds of inner emotions. All writing can be kept confidential.

Meets Mondays, 6:30-8:00 pm, room A-5

Hope Outdoorsmen Network

If you enjoy hunting, fishing, hiking, camping and other “outdoor” activities, this is the ministry for you! From group hunts to sporting clays competitions, fishing derbies to archery clinics, this group loves to get closer to God in the great outdoors that He provides.

Nurses of Hope

A team of medical professionals from within the Hope body, providing information, education and opportunities to promote health in mind, body and soul for Hopesters.

Facilities Team

These folks support the maintenance staff in providing a safe, clean and maintained building, grounds and resources. They also lend a big hand at special events like Biker Sunday.

You Crew

This outgoing team makes certain everyone is welcomed at Hope. They also assist with providing information–everything from where a class is being held to how many bricks were used in the building.

Playing in God’s Creation (PIG-C)

This is a group of folks who find God in the Great Outdoors on a regular basis. Their outings involve things like hiking, camping, backpacking, biking, bouldering, scrambling, rock climbing, rappelling, and even napping in some really awe-inspiring spots.
