Welcome to Hope Fellowship!
​We’re so glad you’re here. Whether you’re exploring faith, looking for a church home, or just curious, visiting a new church can feel intimidating. We want to make it as easy and welcoming as possible. Come as you are, and take your first step in a community that abundantly loves God, one another, and our neighbors.

what to expect on sunday
Worship Service
A one-hour service beginning at 9:30 am MT with liturgies, scripture, preaching, and music rooted in the Reformed tradition.
What to Wear

Music
Hymns and modern worship songs accompanied by organ, piano, guitar, or viola, with lyrics on the screen.
Kids & Families
Children’s message every week, activity bags for time in the sanctuary, and Children’s Church for pre-K through 5th grade. Nursery is available weekly in the basement.
Accessibility
Handicapped parking, elevator access, and hearing loops are available.
Entrance
Most people park on the east side of the building in the free parking lot and enter through the glass double doors by the handicapped parking where someone will greet you inside. You may also park for free on the street and enter through the fancy wooden doors at the top of the concrete steps on the west side of the building.
Gathering Place
Coffee, conversation, and connection before and after worship in the space behind the sanctuary. Learn more about the Gathering Place HERE.
Kids
Children are an important part of our church family, and they are always welcome in worship.
​
Each Sunday begins with families worshiping together in the sanctuary, including a children’s message. After the children’s message, kids ages pre-K through 5th grade are invited to head downstairs for Children’s Church. Parents can pick up their children in the downstairs classroom following the service.
​
Children’s bulletins and activity bags are available in the Gathering Place behind the sanctuary for those who remain in the service.
​
On the fourth Sunday of each month, children stay in the sanctuary for our intergenerational service, where they help collect items for our monthly C.A.R.E. Closet distribution and as we celebrate communion.
​
Nursery care is available most Sundays for infants and toddlers (birth through age 3). You can check your child in before the service at the nursery, located through the glass double doors on the east side of the building, down the stairs (or take the elevator to the right), and then to the right in the basement.
​
If you prefer to keep your infant or toddler with you during the service, you are always welcome to do so. If your child begins to make a joyful noise, feel free to step into the area just behind the sanctuary, called the Gathering Place, where you can still hear the service through the speakers.
​
A Mother & Baby Room is also available just west of the Gathering Place for breastfeeding or diaper changes. A changing table is also located in the women’s restroom on the main floor.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER you visit?
There’s no pressure. You won’t be singled out or asked to do anything you’re not comfortable with.
​
Many people stay after worship to speak to our pastor, enjoy coffee, or spend time in fellowship. Others head out quietly. Both are completely okay.
