Small Groups

 

 

Why Small Groups?

God created each of us with a built-in need for community - a need for genuine friendships, a place to belong, a family where we can love and be loved, and encourage each other in our walk of faith. That describes our small groups. We have a variety of groups: some that emphasize making and building friendships, groups that love to pray and worship, groups that focus on studying the Bible, and interest groups that meet around a common interest or hobby.

Join A Group

Our small groups run in 8-week cycles, but many groups are ongoing and you may join up with a group at any time.  Some groups are based on areas of study, while others are based on common interests.  Feel free to try out a couple of groups and find the place where you fit the best.  We want everyone to find the place where he or she belongs.

If you are interested in joining one of these groups, please contact the group leader directly using the information below.

Description

The first step of a Hope Center is adoration, or "Face to Face" prayer, loving and magnifying the Lord above all else and in every circumstance and season of life.  It is setting our eyes on the prize of knowing Christ Jesus and delighting in who He is. A person in love can do anything!  Adoration brings us into a state of falling in love with Him and giving Him the love He is due!  To adore Him is to look into His eyes. It is not just talking about Him, or around Him, but TO Him.  When we adore the Lord, we behold Him in all His Glory! You are invited to come join us in this "HOPE GROUP" as we learn to adore the Lord in all of life!
