Welcome to HOPE United Methodist Church

Where there is Hope for all!

If you are a visitor, we want to welcome you to Hope UMC. We are
glad that you are here with us today, and pray that you are touched by
the Spirit during our time together. We also strive to make your visit to
Hope as spiritual as possible. A nursery is available for our
younger guests and a parent during Worship and Sunday
School. Restrooms can be found on the other side of the social hall,
just past the stage, or at the bottom of the stairs on the lower level. If
there is anything that we can do to make your worship experience
more meaningful, please let us know. You are important to us!

Mission Statement for Hope United Methodist Church

It is the mission of Hope UMC to become true disciples of God in
order to bring people closer to Jesus Christ through HOPE
H – Honoring Jesus
O – Outreach
P – Personal Connections
E – Education
And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so
that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men
Romans 15:13 will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.
