Next Steps

Thanks for joining us on our journey of finding a new lead pastor. This page is dedicated to giving you updates on where we are in our process. You can find info about what the process is going to look like, and how you can be involved in the progression. 

Job Profile

Below is a link to the posted job profile which outlines all the information candidates will receive about New Hope, and what we are looking for in a candidate. Applications are being accepted until May 11, 2025.

Church Membership

One of the more common questions we've received over the past few months is whether the congregation will have any input in selecting the next lead pastor. Greg explains the steps you need to take to participate in the vote when the time comes.

30 days of Prayer

Join us from April 6 to May 5 for "30 Days of Prayer" as we focus on praying for our next lead pastor. Following Hebrews 10:23, this guided prayer journey will unite our church family during this important transition.

Each day features a specific Scripture passage and prayer focus, guiding us through themes of unity, wisdom, trust, and spiritual growth. Your prayers will help guide our search committee and prepare our hearts for new leadership while strengthening our congregation's bonds.

Download our prayer guide below or pick up a printed copy at the Info Desk or church office. As we journey through these 30 days together, we'll be seeking God's guidance for the future of New Hope.
