How do we do church, in general?
We take God really seriously; ourselves, not so much.
Yes, we welcome you to join us in the body of Christ. After meeting with one of the pastors and some instruction, we will encourage you to be baptized. You will have the opportunity to attend adult’s classes on Sunday morning and weekly Bible Studies to deepen your understanding and faith.
Do I have to give my life savings?
In a word, no. Offerings are given as an act of worship and a response to faith for those people who consider Spirit of Hope to be their home. We give to God because he has given so much to us.
How do I get my kids involved?Children are always welcome and valued in worship. During the school year, Sunday School classes are available for 4 year olds through 6th grade. Youth group is for grades 7-12 and meets every Wednesday night at 6:30 p.m. This includes confirmation instruction for grades 7-9.
Do I have to come every week?
Of course, we look forward to seeing you every week but do realize that busy lives sometimes prevent this. No, we don’t take attendance.
How long is the service?
Generally, our services each run about an hour.
What if my kids get noisy during the service?
There is a cry room located at the back of the sanctuary that is supplied with sound available during worship.
Do I have to wear a tie or dress?
Suits, dresses, shorts, jeans, sandals – we think it’s more important that you come to worship than how you are dressed.
Can I take Communion?
All baptized and believing Christians who trust that the risen Lord Jesus is present in the bread and wine and who commune in other Christian churches are welcome to participate in the sacrament with us. Children who do not commune may come forward for a blessing.
Send your question to Spirit of Hope and watch for the answer on this page. Thank you.
