Hope Church

It’s feeling like fall. 🍂 It’s feeling like it’s time for a break, a time to retreat, a time to get quiet and connect with Jesus.

We are inviting Hope Students High School and Middle School students to take a breathe from their busy schedules and unwind in nature, with friends, with God.

High School Retreat
October 16-18
Eagle Sky Camp | Piedmont, MO

Middle School Retreat
November 20-22
Lake Springfield Christian Assembly | Springfield, IL

You know the story… but do you know what’s behind it? 📖

Jesus’ baptism. His time in the wilderness. The parables. The cross. The resurrection. The explosive growth of the early church.

There’s a lot more to the story than what we’ve heard before.

Discover 'the rest of the story' in a six-week journey with leaders Beth, Bob & Casey into the history, context, and moments behind the New Testament. Come curious, ask questions, dig deeper into Scripture, and discover how the story of Jesus still has the power to change lives and turn the world upside down today.

📅 Wednesdays, Sept. 30–Nov. 4
⏰ 6–7:30pm
📍 Hope Church

We want to make the invite to Fall Fest Easy! 🍁🍂

👇 Tag a friend below who you are bringing to this year's Fall Fest!
📱 Save the graphics & text a personal invite to your friends & family!
☕️ Invite them to church Sunday, grab them a coffee & hand them a Fall Fest card availble in the lobby.

Fall Fest is at Pumpkin Creek Farms on Sunday, October 4th, 5-7:30pm. We'll see you there! Can't wait!

✨Have you ever felt truly known — and found that thought both comforting and unsettling? ✨ That tension is at the heart of Psalm 139:1-4, where David writes about a God who searches us, knows us, and pays attention to our every movement. Not like a distant satellite watching from above, but like someone who understands us from the inside out.

The good news is that your story does not start with your failures. It starts with creation — with a God who made you in his image and values what he made. Sin is real, but it is not chapter one. Redemption and restoration follow, and that changes everything about how we understand God's closeness.

Whether his presence feels like comfort or concern to you right now, he meets you right there. 💙 Join us as we spend six more weeks unpacking one of the most profound chapters in all of Scripture in our series, "Closer Than You Think".

What if asking hard questions could actually grow your faith?

Tomorrow night, join Caleb Payne for an 8-week journey into the heart of the gospel—where we’ll learn how to study the Bible, wrestle with difficult passages, and sit with the good, awkward, and sometimes uncomfortable questions faith brings.

No pretending to have all the answers. Just honest questions, deeper Scripture, and a growing understanding of Jesus.

📖 Bring your Bible. Bring your questions.
📅 Begins tomorrow, Sept. 16
⏰ 6–7:30pm
📍 Hope Church
