What are your services like?

At New Hope Ministries, we invite you to experience a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere every weekend. Our services feature uplifting, contemporary worship music that prepares your heart for a powerful message. Each sermon, delivered by Pastor Grant, is designed to strengthen your faith and encourage you in your walk with Christ. Known for his gift of “simply teaching the Bible simply,” Pastor Grant shares practical, scripture-based teachings that exalt Jesus Christ as Lord and provide fresh insights for applying God’s Word to your daily life.

Families are a big part of who we are, and we’ve created a safe and nurturing environment for everyone. Children are cared for in our loving nursery, fun-filled HopeZone, and engaging Upper Room service. For Middle and High Schoolers, our Breakthrough Youth Ministry offers dynamic services in the Event Center on Sundays at 11:00 AM and Wednesdays at 7:00 PM.

Whether you’re new to church or looking for a place to call home, we can’t wait to welcome you to New Hope Ministries—a place where faith, family, and fellowship come alive. Come as you are and experience the hope and joy found in Christ!

What will happen when I visit for the first time?

We understand that visiting a new church can feel intimidating, but rest assured—we won’t single you out or ask you to stand up. We want you to feel comfortable and at ease as you join us for worship.

At the end of the service, all first-time visitors are warmly invited to meet our Pastor and his wife in our Hospitality Room. There, you’ll receive a small gift, enjoy some refreshments, and have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about New Hope Ministries.

Come as you are, enjoy the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, and discover if New Hope Ministries is the church for you. We can’t wait to meet you!

What do I wear to attend your services?

At New Hope Ministries, you’ll find people dressed in everything from casual clothes to business suits. We believe church isn’t about what you look like or what you wear—it’s about your heart and your connection with God.

Come as you are and wear whatever makes you feel comfortable. Whether that’s jeans and a t-shirt or your Sunday best, you’ll feel right at home here!

Do you have a mid-week service?

Yes, we do! Join us every Wednesday evening from 7:00 PM to about 8:30 PM for our mid-week service. It’s a refreshing time of worship, teaching, and fellowship to help you stay spiritually nourished throughout the week.

We also offer a delicious, complete dinner in our Event Center starting at 4:30 PM, making it convenient for you and your family to enjoy a meal before service begins.

For more details, feel free to contact the Church office—we’d love to answer any questions you have!

What about my children?

At New Hope Ministries, we are passionate about equipping the next generation to know and love Jesus.

B12 Kids Ministry provides a fun, safe, and engaging environment where children (Newborn–5th grade) learn about God’s love through songs, games, and age-appropriate Bible lessons.

Breakthrough Youth Ministry is designed for Middle and High School students to experience Christ in a tangible way. Through dynamic worship, relevant teachings, and meaningful connections, our youth are empowered to grow in their faith and make an impact. (AVAILABLE ON SUNDAYS AT 11AM & WEDNESDAYS AT 7PM ONLY)

We’re excited to partner with families in raising kids and youth who shine for Christ!

How do you baptize?

Baptism is not necessary for salvation—salvation is by grace through faith alone (Ephesians 2:8). However, we follow the example of Jesus Christ by being fully immersed in water, symbolizing our commitment to Him.

Water Baptism is an ordinance of God, much like Communion. While it does not save you, it is a powerful act of obedience that draws you into a closer relationship with Christ. It’s a public declaration of your faith and a reflection of your love and devotion to Him.

What about Communion?

At the Last Supper, before His crucifixion, Jesus instituted the practice of Communion, instructing His followers to “Do this in remembrance of Me.” Communion is a sacred ordinance where believers reflect on Christ’s sacrifice and renew their commitment to Him.

At New Hope Ministries, we offer Communion on the 2nd and 4th Sundays at 8:30 AM and on the 3rd Sunday at 6:00 PM in our sanctuary. All believers are welcome to participate, regardless of whether they regularly attend New Hope Ministries. Join us as we remember and honor Jesus’ love and sacrifice together.

How do I become a member?

Several times a year, we offer Partner With New Hope classes designed to help you discover your unique purpose and gifts while learning more about who we are as a church and what we believe. Unlike a traditional membership class, this experience is focused on uncovering who God has made you to be and the talents He has placed within you.

Through this journey, you’ll explore your personal pathway to ministry, finding ways to serve that glorify God and strengthen the Body of Christ. Our desire is to see you thrive in a meaningful place of ministry where you can be both fruitful and fulfilled. Take the next step in your faith journey and join us in Partner With New Hope!
