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.

One In a Million - Thursday Morning Study

Join us on Thursday mornings as we go through Priscilla Shirer's latest Bible study, "One in a Million", an exploration of the Israelites' journey through the wilderness. Class meets in the Youth Room from 9 am to 11:15 am. Childcare is provided. For details contact Clara Ashton at .

Study Description: Join Priscilla Shirer on an exploration of the Israelites' journey through the wilderness in her newest Bible study, One in a Million. Shirer encourages participants to fully engage in the abundant life God has waiting for those who will allow Him to take the lead in daily living. One in a Million is an opportunity for you to experience your deliverance from strongholds, to conquer your wilderness living, and to claim your God-given inheritance.

Discerning the Voice of God - Wednesday Evening Study

Study Description: Having a hard time knowing what God is saying versus what others are saying? This Bible study is designed to help participants know the voice of God: His language, character, and tone of voice.

Men’s Night of Prayer

Friday, March 26, 6pm-Midnight
Dan Warren's Farm/Retreat/Lodge/Man Cave
9861 S. Webb Road, Derby, Kansas


This is an awesome time, and NO, we don't spend the entire time on our knees. There's man food to be eaten. A couple manly speakers. Some manly singing and grunting. And yes, we will pray. We usually focus in on some specific things that we want to attack. Like, oh, I don't know... SATAN! If you're a man, and you think you can take it... BE THERE.


Directions: Take Andover Road/Butler Road south, through Rose Hill, to 95th St. South (210 Street in Butler Co.), turn west, go 5 1/2 miles, look for gate on your left (south) with totem poles and big sign over gate that says Warrens. Drive south to the back of the property. (It's not really on Webb Road, that's just the address. It's about 1/2 mile east of Webb on 95th S.)

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.
