Hope Gatherings
Hope gatherings are where we study God’s word together, where we grow deeper in our relationships with each other and with God, and where we experience life together through fellowship. Hope gatherings can meet at different times throughout the week and can study a number of different topics. As Hope Gatherings develop, each group will be listed below, including meeting days, times and study focus. If you feel led to host a Hope Gathering in your home or lead at another venue, please e-mail reese@hopearise.com.
Hope Gatherings Launching in February of 2012:
Hope Matters
A class for those new to church or just new to our community. This class, led by Pastor Reese Henry is a casual introduction to how Hope Arise works, how it started, and how you can participate. For more information, email Reese at reese@hopearise.com.
Experiencing God | Meeting Sunday Evenings (children are welcome)
A class for beginners, and a way to learn how to recognize all of the ways God is moving in your life. Also taught by Pastor Reese, this is a great introduction to small groups if you’ve never participated in one before! For more information, email Reese at reese@hopearise.com.
Grace Walk
This may leave you scratching your head a little bit, and the message can definitely rock your world. Work through this study with our worship pastor, Ben Toalson and learn about the awesome gift of grace that God has given us, and all of the implications that has in our lives. For more information, email Ben at ben@hopearise.com.
Youth
Join us Wednesday nights from 7:30-9. This group is open to all students 6th -12th grade, and we’re always looking for more adult volunteers that care about our youth! During this time we eat, play, hang out, worship, pray and work though different studies to help us learn more about our faith. We also have plenty of fun events like retreats, parties and mission trip during the summer. For more information, email our youth pastor, Ashleigh Pepper at ashleigh@hopearise.com.
Singles
For single adults, college students, and young professionals. This is a casual and friendly group that frequents coffee shops to discuss God’s word and often helpw with our youth group and service projects. Led by our resident “Mr. Awesome,” Thomas DeLadurantey, email Ashleigh for more information at ashleigh@hopearise.com.
Financial Peace
Following Dave Ramsey’s trusty method, work as a group to get a budget in order, pay off debt, save for the future and give “like never before.” This is a small group that we encourage couples to take together, to make sure they’re on the same page. It’s not just a financial plan, it’s a spiritual guide to handling money in a way that glorifies God. Taught by Pastor Reese Henry, email him at reese@hopearise.com for more information.
You can join a group at any time, but we’ll be signing people up throughout January to begin these groups fresh in February. We encourage you to find a group that appeals to you, and to get to know the people of Hope Arise better while growing in faith and knowledge of God.
