At Hope, all who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior are welcome at his table. Infants and children may begin participating in communion when their parents consider it appropriate. Grape juice is available as an alternative to wine for anyone who desires it. This order of worship is traditional and ancient, and those who are familiar with the Roman Catholic mass will recognize the format of the service. While we may be using an ancient order of worship, our worship style is contemporary and relatively casual.
Children are welcome in worship and often participate as acolytes, readers, and ushers.
There is a children's sermon every week. For most of the year, we worship from With One Voice using more contemporary musical settings. We accompany the music with acoustic piano and guitars, and occasionally a synthesizer.
