See you Sunday!
Join us for our worship celebration each Sunday at 10:30am.
This service is a blend of traditional and contemporary, and is always focused on hope and the practical and applicable aspects of faith and spirituality.

Worship
We look for God’s love in our lives as the evidence that we have been truly worshipping Him. At Hope UMC, worship is central to everything. Worship means learning to recognize God’s goodness while delighting to deepen in our responses.
It means purposing together, as individuals and as a community, to unite our actions, intentions, and emotions in loving response to God. It means transforming the ways we think so that what we do and who we are become one—in, for, through, and to the Father, Son, and Spirit.
For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
Matthew 18:20
