Men of Hope / Promisekeepers - this men's class is led by Ron Smith and Garry Lucas. Come and join the gathering of men at Hope Church every Sunday in Room 2 from 9am until 10:15am. We get involved every Sunday with not only stories from the Bible, but with "life stuff" that happens to all of us. We talk about cars, sports, families and all other things that happen in a man's life. The great policy has always been what we discuss in the room stays in the room - this allows more men to open their hearts to give and receive. All are welcome - come ready to leave behind some of the burdens you carried into the room.

Christians Under Construction - this class is a group of believers that search the Bible for answers, letting only the Holy Spirit be the leader of our group. We have open discussions and not lectures, and we would love to have you join us every Sunday from 9am to 10am in the Church Office. We pray for each other and encourage each other to seek God in all we do. If your spiritual life is in need of some restoration, we invite you to join us in our expedition. We will be building, with the help of the Great Carpenter, an honest and open Christian life. You may be an answered prayer for our group. Come expecting to enrich your relationship with GOD and others.
