    Just Walk Across the Room

    Sermon Series and Small Group Immersion Experience Begins March 27th.

    What if twenty steps across a room could change your friend’s forever?

    Join us for a Four-Week Church Experience that will refresh your appreciation for the Holy Spirit’s mysterious ways, rekindle your passion for people, and revive your belief that the single greatest gift you can give to your friends and family members is an introduction to the God who…

    Created them, loves them, and has a purpose for their lives.

    Over four weekends starting March 27th, you’ll learn to:

    • Develop friendships with people far from God
    • Discover the stories behind their life’s journey
    • Discern what “next steps” will help point them to faith

    This will change your mind about evangelism.  Pointing people to faith is something all of us can do–and it shows up on the heels of a simple walk across the room.

    The Purpose of Worship

    To come together before God to honor Him for who He is and to discover what He’s done for us through Jesus Christ.

    Worship Formats

    We have three main worship formats on Sundays

    8:30 a.m. - Traditional Service
    10:00 a.m. - Contemporary Service
    6:00 p.m. - X-ALT Youth Worship

    We also invite the Korean community to join our brothers and sisters in the Korean Gilbert Church @ 1 p.m. on Sundays.

    Our Traditional Service features singing from the hymnal and a few liturgical elements that invite the congregation into participatory worship.

    Our Contemporary Service is both contemporary in music, but also more contemporary in its structure. The participatory nature of this service is less conventional.

    Conversations with God

    No matter what style of worship you feel comfortable with, we believe worship is a conversation between the congregation and God. And in like many conversations the goal is to get to know the person you are talking with.

    So worship at New Hope begins with an invitation by God to enter into a dialogue and to relate with one another. As we approach God we recognize how awesome God is so we burst out into praises because of God's infinite worth. However we also begin to realize that God is God and we are not. We begin to realize just how pure God is and how pure we are not, so we are honest and acknowledge it.

    God reminds us that His infinite Grace through his Son, Jesus Christ has purified us and we are able to approach God confidently to hear what he has to say. God speaks through His Word, through his Son. We hear the good news of Jesus Christ, and when we do we are inspired by Jesus' love for us. When we get to know Jesus we get to know God.

    So we respond. We sing God's praises, and we ask the Holy Spirit to empower us to live as Christ calls us to live. We recommit ourselves to follow Christ day after day and so bring honor to Him in the world. That is the conversation with God which is called worship.

    Small Group Vision

    Our Vision is to Develop a Vibrant and Growing Small Group Community at New Hope, whose Members are Passionate about Spiritual Growth, Passionate about Building Relationships, and Passionate about Showing Christ's Love to all!

    The Purpose of Small Groups

    To help believers get connected through worship, study of Scripture, fellowship, discipleship, evangelism, and ministry in order to foster spiritual growth in Christ and the Church. Small Groups are the perfect place to connect with God and with others.

    The Bible says this about the early Christians: Every day they (Christians) continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people

    Why did the early church grow? Acts 2:46 tells us they met in small groups.
