meetings/ a typical mid-week from a home…


In a sincere effort to live according to the New Testament practices of meeting and ministering house to house (Acts 2:42-47, 5:42; 20:20), Hope will purpose to decentralize ministry, away from the facility, to and through the homes of the members of Hope. 


Each week smaller collections of Hope families will meet in various homes and do ‘church’ – just on a smaller scale.  This normally will involve…


    • gathering: greeting the saints


    • a fellowship meal: breaking bread


    • preparation: of hearts in worship


    • instruction: His words to us


    • response: of hearts in worship


    • a fellowship time: to further strengthen

       relationships within the smaller group
