Adult Ministries

Discipleship is a lifelong process. As we mature in our Christian walk, we become involved in ministry opportunities that reflect our beliefs. Following is a list of some of the opportunities that you can be involved with at Hope Church.

Contact Ann Ebbert, Director of Discipleship, with any questions.

LIFEgroups – How to do you grow closer to others and to God? A great way to is participate in Hope’s small group ministry. All small groups at Hope encompass four basic components: Love others, Invite others, Find ways to serve and Engage with God. There are all types of LIFEgroups: exercise, Bible study, service, marriage enrichment, parenting name just a few possibilities. Through these LIFE components, we find community with one another.

Wednesday Evening Program – To grow as Christian Disciples, we need to learn what Jesus taught and did during His ministry. The programming on Wednesday evenings is for adults (as well as youth and children) to grow in their ability to think and live as Christ did.

Brown Bag Bible Study – A women’s Bible study group that meets Mondays during lunchtime. This on-going study group offers in-depth study of the Bible and discussions regarding how those lessons apply to our daily lives.

Financial Peace University – Dave Ramsey teaches us about God’s way to manage money. This debt defying class offers DVD class room instruction with small group application and accountability to get you on track with spending and making money God’s way. Jesus mentions money more than any other subject in the New Testament! He thought it was worth learning about and we do too!

Senior Studies – Meeting on Wednesdays at 4 pm, this class offers seniors a convenient time and place to gather and discuss Biblical truths. Many times, video as well as Bible study is incorporated into this class. There is no specific age limit; any adult is invited to attend.

United Methodist Women – The traditional women’s group of the United Methodist church meets monthly here at Hope. The women have a monthly program on the third Monday of the month at 7 pm for educational purposes as well as fellowship time. The UMW also promotes and assists many other ministries through service time spent as well as their donations from the money raised through the Clothing Closet ministry here at the church.

Afterknots – This group of active senior adults gathers once a month for friendship and fun. Outings are planned and announced well in advance and range from trips to the ballpark to overnighters to see a show out of town.

Volleyball (open) – Join the fun during open volleyball times in the gym. Wednesday nights after 9 pm and Sunday afternoons at 1 pm.

Family Retreat – Each summer, get away with your family in a retreat setting to relax, enjoy one another’s company and learn more about God.

Men’s basketball (open) – Men college age and up are invited to play for fun on Monday nights fro 6:30 to 9:30. Teams are formed with the available guys and the play is competitive! Bring both a white and dark colored t-shirt with you to help identify you to your team on the court.
