Have you ever wondered ...

What, exactly, does it take to become a “member” of the HOPE congregation?

Because we value your time and your willing spirit to continue on your journey of faith, we’ve developed our H7 program.

H7 is a component-based educational opportunity giving you flexibility as you learn foundational truths important to the HOPE family. By rotating the sessions, you may pick them at your own pace. That way, if you’re available for one class one month, but can’t attend another class until another month, you’re still on track. H7 classes are available to everyone, members and non-members alike. Classes are held in the chapel each Sunday morning at 9 am. Here's a look at our next sessions:

Discovering Your Purpose in the Body of Christ

9am - Chapel

Have You Discovered the Unique Purpose God Has for Your Life?

This small group study is designed specifically to take you to that next level of purpose--to reveal how God has designed you--and help see how that fits the intention for which you were created.

In these lessons, HOPE's Connections Coordinator, Ami Vielehr, unpacks for you the five elements of God’s blueprints for creating you. Each session includes tools that help bring clarity to your future goals and show you how to have the most fulfilling life possible – a life lived for God’s Purposes, by God’s design.

Next session will begin on Sunday, March 14, 2010
