What to expect.
Community of Hope offers Sunday worship service at 10:00 am.
Here, you’ll notice a casual family atmosphere and people of all ages and walks of life. All children are welcome in the worship service with their families. A host will welcome you when you arrive. You may sit wherever you’re comfortable and if you ever need help finding a seat, an usher would be more than happy to help you.
Children are always welcome to stay with families during worship services but if you prefer the Nursery (infant-3yrs) is available during service and Kids Zone (4yrs-5th grade Sept - May) starts after opening worship music. You may stop by the Connection Corner to get more information and to register your children for children’s ministry.
Visit the Cafe’ Hope
If you’d like a cup of Haitian coffee or a snack before or after the service or want to sit and chat with friends or family Cafe’ Hope is a great place. Relax, discuss the day’s message, or connect with others both before the service and after.
During the service
Worship, music and the arts
This time is set aside for communicating with God from our hearts. Our worship team leads us in modern, upbeat songs of celebration, as well as more intimate songs of worship. Many of the songs may be familiar to you if you listen to the radio stations KLOVE (98.9 FM) or WDLM (89.3 FM). In addition to our music, Community of Hope values many artistic expressions of worship including drama, dance, multi-media and more. Everyone worships in his or her own unique way – for many, that means singing, clapping along and raising hands, for others it means quietly reflecting on the words. You’re welcome to do whatever makes you feel most comfortable.
Offering
Each week we receive an offering. As a guest, please do not feel any pressure to give. This is an act of worship for our regular attendees, allowing them to thank God for all of the great work He is doing in their lives. It also gives Community of Hope the means to reach more people for Christ in the future.
The message (sermon)
Every weekend, you will hear a relevant, straightforward message from Scripture that is helpful in your everyday life. We trust that these messages will help you develop a growing, vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ and provide a strong biblical foundation for your life. Listen online.
Communion
The first and third Sunday of each month, we celebrate communion together. Anyone can participate in this time of reflection and prayer – as long as they’ve made the decision to follow Jesus Christ. The juice and bread that we share represent the life He gave up so that our sins could be forgiven.
After the service
Visit the Connection Corner
As a guest, you may fill out a Connection Card at the Connection Corner (located in the lobby) and meet some of our volunteers and leaders. They’re happy to answer any questions that you may have about our church and we have a special gift for you and your family. The Connection Corner is located on the south side of the main entrance.
Beyond the service
Get involved
We provides opportunities for attendees and their children to move beyond weekend service and into deeper, more meaningful relationships with Jesus Christ and with other people. To find ways to get more involved:
• Stop by the Connection Corner (in the lobby) to get additional information.
• Read the announcements on the calendar (on the stand in back).
• Pick up a ministry brochure from the Connection Corner display.
• Browse this website.
We are looking forward to meeting you this Sunday.
