Family Support

At Hope we consider ALL our members AND our visitors FAMILY.  If you are here, you are part of our family as you are all children of God.  

Hope provides many opportunities for fellowship and for support of each other.  Some of these opportunities are described in the following pages:

Neighborhood Care Teams

Prayer Support

A Prayer List  is maintained for Members of Hope and for Friends and Loved Ones of Members and published in the weekly newsletter.  The Hope Prayer Support Team meets on the second Monday of each month at 9:30 AM.  Anyone interested in prayer ministry is invited to become involved with the Hope Prayer Support Team.

Please call the Team Leader, Joi Lauterborn to add / remove a loved one from the prayer support list.

Education

Hope University

H.O.P.E. University is for all people.  The name is a fancy, all inclusive way of saying we have Bible Study, Doctrinal Studies, discussion of Faith and Current Events and offer courses to aid our Christian Growth.  If you are reading this report and have not tried “Hope U” as yet, why not make the effort to participate in a class this year.  We are in our fourth year of operation. There is no tuition, no tests, no memorization, an occasional book charge and leaders who answer your questions.For further information on HOPE University, click here
