LifeGroups

Life can be a busy and ever-changing adventure. The world around us changes, our priorities change, our relationships change, and we change, but God is always there. This LifeGroup is focused on learning, practicing, and reflecting on different ways in which we can hear God, worship, and pray. Join us as we discover different practices and ways to stay connected to God through all of these changes.

We’re all longing to hear from God, aching to know who he is and know his heart. The beautiful truth is this—we can encounter the living God today in the pages of his Word. The Bible is for you and for now. Whether you already open your Bible every day, have never read it before, or struggle to keep up with studying Scripture, Open Your Bible, a 7-session study from the women behind She Reads Truth, will leave you with a greater appreciation for the Word of God, a deeper understanding of its authority, and a stronger desire to truly know the Bible inside and out.

Young Moms Group – Weekly on Fridays, 10:30am at New Hope // Starting September 15

Being unoffendable is a choice.  We are not entitled to get offended or stay angry at other people.  The idea of our own 'righteous anger' is a myth.  Instead, the Bible calls every follower of Christ to do something radical and countercultural: Let go of our anger and forgive.

Men's Group – Weekly on Tuesdays, 7pm at New Hope // Starting October 3

Grace can give you freedom. Freedom to be creative, spontaneous. Freedom to think outside the box. Grace can make you want to know God, to be close to Him. Grace can cure your fears, improve your outlook, help you look at life through the lens of joy rather than the fog of pessimism.  Grace can strengthen your relationships, giving you freedom to be yourself—and freedom to let others be themselves—without feeling a need to judge, control, or manipulate one another. And yes, grace is God’s incredible gift to each of us that shows his love daily in overflowing measures, giving us reason for hope and joy.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 7pm at New Hope // Starting September 13

Parables are interesting stories that most often use illustrations involving the basic nuts and bolts of everyday life. They’re stories of lost items, wayward children, impatient bosses, and rude religious elites to name a few. Yet they are tinged with grace, forgiveness, and mercy. These unique riddle like stories are meant to catch us off guard, to reveal our hearts and draw us back to God. This group will look at selected parables in Luke’s gospel, and through discussion will reflect on how these stories can continually shape our spiritual lives.
