What to Expect
If you are visiting for the first time, here are a few things to keep in mind:
First, you will be warmly greeted by those serving in the parking lot and lobby areas, and one of our greeters will guide you to the Resource Center. Please help yourself to the complimentary coffee and doughnuts located in the Eurasia Café!
Upon entering the service, you will experience a concert-style atmosphere as our band of talented musicians and singers lead us in a celebratory and reflective time of worship. And because we value prayer, there will be time dedicated in each service to allow people to come forward and be prayed for, either corporately or individually with one of our trained Altar Workers. At Hope we don’t pass a collection plate, but rather provide an Offering Box located in the Lobby for any tithes and/or offerings. As a visitor please do not feel obligated to give, though you are certainly welcome to do so.
The message presented will offer practical ways to apply the subject matter, supporting Bible references, and visual illustrations – all done with enthusiasm, humor and passion. At the conclusion of the service our ushers will hand out Communication Cards which include thought and action provoking questions from the day’s message as well as the opportunity to sign up for upcoming events, submit prayer requests and request more information.
Finally, we invite all first time visitors to return to the Resource Center immediately after the service if you have not yet received a free gift for being our guest. And as we say here at Hope, when you come you are a friend, but when you leave you are a part of the family, so welcome to the family!
