Three services, one message. Pick 8, 9:30, or 11 AM, whichever fits your family.
Why three identical services?
We hear this question often. Why not run a “traditional” service and a “contemporary” one? Why not a teaching service and a discussion-based one?
The shortest answer is that we're one church. The pastors prepare one message each week, the worship team rehearses one set of songs, and we share that one service three times. At 8, 9:30, or 11 AM, you sit under the same teaching as everyone else that Sunday. The hour you pick comes down to your schedule and the classes your family needs.
“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”
Acts 2:42, NIV
Here’s what runs alongside worship at each hour:
- 8 AM: Worship and Adult Sunday School. Smaller crowd, often retired members and early risers. New Hope Kids isn’t offered.
- 9:30 AM: Worship, Adult Sunday School, New Hope Kids, and the livestream for anyone watching from home.
- 11 AM: Worship, New Hope Kids, and Student Ministries. The only hour with classes for both kids and teens.

What time are Sunday services?
We gather at 8:00, 9:30, and 11:00 AM every Sunday. All three services are identical, with the same teaching and the same worship, so come to whichever hour fits your morning.
Are the three services different in style?
No. The 8:00, 9:30, and 11:00 services are the same, with the same message and the same worship at every hour. What changes between hours is the supporting programs like kids, students, and Adult Sunday School.
