Everyone Is Welcome at Spirit of Hope!

Jesus preached to everyone who would listen, no matter what walk of life they were from, no matter what they wore, no matter who they were. That’s why we welcome everyone at Spirit of Hope.

What to Expect on a Sunday

Service Time: Sundays at 10:00 a.m.
Our worship service blends scripture, prayer, thoughtful preaching, and beautiful music from our choir, bells, and vocal quartet. You’ll find a relaxed atmosphere, friendly people, and a sincere welcome for all.

Communion

Our table is open to anyone who wishes to partake in communion—no requirements, no restrictions. Break bread with us the first Sunday of each month.

Come as You Are
People dress in everything from jeans and T-shirt to business casual. Wear whatever makes you comfortable (even Renaissance costumes have been worn and welcomed!).

A Place for Everyone
Spirit of Hope is a Reconciling (LGBTQIA+ affirming) congregation. We welcome people of all gender identities, sexual orientations, races, religions, abilities, political backgrounds, and life experiences. You are safe here, and you are celebrated.

Children & Youth

Kids and youth are a vibrant part of our community!

Children are always welcome to stay in worship with their families—whatever works best for you works for us.
