We desire that everyone who calls Blessed Hope home will take their responsibility to grow in Christian Discipleship seriously. One of the best ways to meet people, develop relationships, and grow as a follower of Christ is by finding a place to serve. God has given us all different gifts and talents to use to further the mission of the church. There are many ministry teams and volunteer roles to serve in here at Blessed Hope! Contact the Ministry Team Leaders listed below to get plugged in and find the right fit for you and your family!
This team understands that discipleship happens in relationships. Through community, with truth and grace, we are growing Christians from where they are, discipling them to become more Christ-like. They plan, coordinate and oversee our small group ministry, accountability groups and adult Sunday School classes with these core values at the center of everything: Bible-based, Relevance, Relationships, Discipleship, and Prayer-Dependency. This team is always looking to develop leaders to serve as small group leaders/co-leaders and Sunday School teachers.
