We strive to have our attenders passionately engage in worship experiences. To achieve this we utilize a mix of live music, dance and media.

What are the messages like?

We aim to teach the God's Word in a way that is engaging, understandable and applicable. The message will be based on the Bible, and Pastor Perry will often include interesting anecdotes, the latest news stories, or movies. Expect our sermons to last roughly 45 minutes; check out the audio section or our podcasts to listen one.

What about the music?

Music and singing is just one of the many ways that we worship. At New Hope, we are led by a team of musicians and vocalists. We sing contemporary Gospel, historic hymns and current worship songs.

Where do my children go?

Based on age or year in school, your children will be placed in the nursery or assigned to an appropriate Sunday school class from 9:30 am – 10:30 am. Following Sunday School, the Feed the Children ministry serves breakfast in the fellowship hall. The New Hope Nursery is the perfect place for infants and small children to go while you attend service. The Nursery is located downstairs past the vending machine area.
