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.

There are various Hope Small Groups that meet from time to time to study a particular subject such as Hope 101, Crown Ministries, Marriage-related topics, Parenting, and more.

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.
