Hope for the Journey is the night we look forward to every year. It's a fantastic night of celebration, inspiration, and information about all God is doing in and through Hope Church. This night will also allow us to celebrate some of the amazing things God has done through our church over the past year and look ahead to where we believe God is leading us over the next year.
So, if you call Hope Church home, please consider prioritizing this night and joining us. There will be no childcare, so our excellent Hope Kids staff and volunteers can also participate in this special night.

Child Dedication
Join us for a special day on Saturday, May 10th, at 10 am or 2 pm for child dedication in the Student Auditorium at Hope Church!
On Saturday morning, we will have a special time of dedication. You will invite those close to you to share refreshments and dedication, which will last about an hour. Then, on Sunday morning, during one of our 3 Mother’s Days at Hope services, we will have a public prayer of dedication for you and your family.
More about child dedication
Being a parent is one of the greatest joys in life, but it’s no easy task. Often, you feel that nagging feeling in your gut that makes you wonder, “Am I doing this whole parenting thing right?” But, there’s good news! You don’t have to parent alone. That’s where child dedication comes in. You get to stand in front of your church family and commit to raising your child alongside your church family.
As a parent, you know you’re the most important influence in your child’s life. But you’re not the only influence your child needs. That’s where your church family comes in. Child dedication is an opportunity to invite others to develop and influence your child as they grow in their faith.
Your kids didn’t begin following Jesus by accident. When you dedicate your child, you’re deciding that you’ll raise your kids knowing who Jesus is. Check out what Deuteronomy 6:4-7 NIV says about this:
Hear, O Israel: The Lᴏʀᴅ our God, the Lᴏʀᴅ is one. Love the Lᴏʀᴅ your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

I Am King Jesus
You’re invited to experience I AM King Jesus, a brand-new teaching series kicking off March 16th in person and online! If you’ve ever wondered who Jesus truly is, let’s start by hearing what He said about Himself. Over the next 7 weeks, we’ll unpack the 7 "I Am" statements of Jesus—revelations that showcase His divine power and love for you.
Whether you’re longing to grow closer to Jesus or just curious about His claims, we’d love for you to join us. Bring a friend, open your Bible, and come ready to meet the King who declares "I AM" with unshakable authority. Let’s explore the heart of Jesus together—see you soon!
Sundays at 8:30 am, 10:00 am & 11:30 am in person and at Hope Church Online.
Parables Teaching Series
In the Bible, we see that Jesus taught using parables. A parable is a simple tale illustrating a more profound, valuable moral lesson. These parables were like wrapped gifts for people to enjoy and discover deeper meanings to understand the kingdom of Heaven. Like all packages, the gift remains unseen and cannot be fully enjoyed unless they are opened.
So, we invite you to journey with us as we unwrap some of Jesus's parables and gain a deeper understanding of the life He has called and gifted us to live.
Join us for 28 days of devotions as we journey through the Parables of Jesus!
THE PARABLES OF JESUS RESOURCES:
Draw near to the heart of Jesus
Join us as we begin a new teaching series focused on drawing closer to the heart of Jesus. In this series, we will discover how to cultivate a deeper, more personal relationship with Jesus. Through drawing close to Him in prayer, reading His word, Holy Spirit, and authentic community, we will explore spiritual practices and disciplines that can help us truly connect with Jesus on a deeper and more personal level
So, whether you are a seasoned Jesus Follower, new to the faith, or have yet to begin your spiritual journey, this teaching series offers growth, reflection, and an opportunity for renewal.
Together, we will journey towards a deeper understanding of Jesus' heart and take a closer walk with Him as we draw near to the heart of Jesus.
🚨We are online only this Sunday!!🚨

The Hope of Christmas
You’re invited to Christmas at Hope Church!
Most of us love everything about Christmas. The decorations. The lights. The snow. The music. The food. And yes, Christmas movies. Have you ever noticed there is one recurring theme in every Christmas movie? It's hope, whether the hope of snow or true love on Christmas. The hope of finding purpose and joy in life again. The hope of the most depraved person finding their heart and caring for others again. We could go on and on, but the miracle of hope has always been the heart of Christmas.
Why? Because Hope is what we all long for. Our community and world desperately need hope, and because of Christmas, there is true Hope.
We invite you to join us for Christmas at Hope, and together, we will discover why Christmas changes everything.
Fun the whole family
Join us and enjoy Christmas Train Rides in the parking lot, Coffee and seasonal creamers, and special Christmas treats. We’ll also have an amazing Christmas experience for your kids in our Hope Kids Environments. We hope you will make plans to join us for Christmas at Hope.

Follow the way of Jesus
Whether you realize it or not, we are constantly being shaped by something or someone. The truth is that whatever we choose to follow determines who we become. So, the question is, who or what are you following? Who are you becoming?
We want to invite you on a transformative journey to become more like Jesus, a journey that starts by simply following Him and His ways. This journey holds the promise of being who Jesus desires you to be. It all starts with a simple invitation from Jesus: Follow Me.
Join us on Sundays at 9:00 am and 11:00 am as we journey to follow, grow, and live our lives for Jesus.
Glow Party
Hope Kids will have a Glow Party this Sunday in both our PreK & Elementary environments during the 9 am & 11 am services. We will use it to remind our kids to be a LIGHT FOR JESUS. The whole party will be themed around Matthew 5:14-16, which tells us to let the light of Jesus shine through us!
Have kids wear a white or neon-colored shirt if possible so they "glow." We will have both environments decorated and fun games, loud worship, and fun and faith-building opportunities to connect to their leaders and friends!
We cannot wait to see you there!

Welcome to our House
Hope Church is a community where everyone is welcomed and invited. We exist for one reason: to do whatever it takes for all people to follow, grow, and live for Jesus! So, whether you’re exploring faith for the first time or looking for a place to call home, we want you to be a part of our community. Welcome to our house!!

The Revelation of Jesus
For many, the Book of Revelation is intimidating. Sadly, it has also been used as a weapon and often portrayed that you had better get your life right with Jesus, or you would get left behind. However, everything written about Jesus invites us into this life He called us to live, and we have been led to believe that, at the end of His story, Jesus is saying the complete opposite. The problem is that it doesn’t add up to the rest of His story. So, what is the Book of Revelation all about?
Join us for our teaching series, The Revelation of Jesus, and let’s dive into the Book of Revelation with an open heart and an open mind. Let’s see what Jesus has to say to each of us and how He can encourage us to deepen and strengthen our faith in Him through the Revelation of Jesus.

Love & Truth
The line between God's love love and God's truth gets incredibly blurry in today's culture. Thankfully, we can look to the wisdom in these four letters to better understand how God wants us to demonstrate His great love to others while remaining firm on the foundation of the truth of His Word.
We invite you to join us for our new series, Truth and Love, as we discover God's love for all of us and the truth about the life His great love compels us to live.

The Courage to ENDURE
Peter was one of Jesus' closest disciples and friends. He witnessed Jesus' grace and mercy firsthand through the ups and downs of his journey. Through his experiences, Peter wrote two letters to offer encouragement and instructions on holy and righteous living. He teaches that God wants to build our endurance to stand firm in Him no matter what we face, and all we need is the courage to take Him at His word.
Join us for our series on 1 & 2 Peter as we examine this life we are called to live and how to endure the toughest challenges.

Faith Without Works Is Dead | The Book of James
James, the half-brother of Jesus, wrote to Jesus' followers who had faith that lived only in their heads instead of being evidenced in their lives. He would make a bold statement: faith without works is dead. But is that true? How many have been taught that being a Christian is just about believing? But is that true? What does real faith look like? How should our faith in Jesus change our lives? How does our faith change the world around us for the better?
This five-week series from the Letter of James answers these questions and more. We'll ultimately discover that true faith is married with action, and there is no genuine faith without obedience.

Easter at Williams H.S.
WHAT TO EXPECT
It will be an amazing day of worship and an Easter message as we gather under one roof for a HUGE day of celebrating Jesus! Williams High School has a 1900-seat theatrical arts auditorium, and we’re praying that we fill the room for an unforgettable Easter experience!
———
WHAT ABOUT CHILDREN
We will offer Hope Kids for children [toddlers-K5]. We will have an area to check them in securely and safely and volunteers ready to serve you and your family. Children over K5 will join us for the service, which will last about 1 hour and 15 minutes. We’ll have gift bags for all children, including activities to keep them engaged during the service.

Good Friday at Hope
Join us for our Good Friday service on Friday, March 29th, at 7:00 pm in our Student Auditorium. This will be a simple 30-45 min. service that will give us a chance to worship, reflect, take communion, and pray together. We will also kick off 36 hours of prayer starting on Good Friday and take us through Easter at Williams. We are praying that God will move in our hearts, that He will spark a revival in and through us, and that we will have the courage and boldness to invite our “ONES” to Easter at Williams. We hope you will join us!!
If you want to join our 36 hrs of prayer and would like to join us in person or online, sign up using the button below.

Easter FX
Saturday, March 23rd, at 3 pm, we will have our Easter Jam FX (Family Experience) and Egg Hunt to follow! You will want to experience the fun for the whole family, so mark your calendars, plan to come, and invite a family to come with you.

Who's Your One? Sunday
Imagine if every Jesus Follower could answer that question with the name of a person who is far from God—a person for whom they’re praying and with whom they are seeking to share the gospel. That’s the intention behind Who’s Your One. We believe God’s people need a white-hot passion to see people far from God experience the new life He offers through Jesus Christ.
Over the coming days, our church and countless others will prioritize personal ownership of the Great Commission as we each intentionally pursue one person with the hope of the gospel. At times, the mission seems simply too complex and too vast for churches like ours and people like us. While we can’t do everything, we can do something. We can all take responsibility for one. And, because of God’s power and the work of His Spirit, each of our ones can add up to make a significant impact for God’s kingdom.

Night of Worship
Join us for a special night of worship on Sunday night, February 25th, at 6:00 pm. This night will offer us a place and a space to dive deeper into worship and prayer and move closer to the heart of Jesus. So, we will come together on this night expecting to be filled and refreshed in the presence of the Holy Spirit. May our lives be forever impacted!
Please note that we will not offer Hope Kids, but they are welcome to join you.
