  1. The MomCo@Hope Spring Registration is Now Open

    Hala TompkinsJanuary 5th, 2026Community Updates

    Dear Mama,

    In a world that values polish over vulnerability, we at The MomCo@Hope are reclaiming the power of awkwardness. Why? Because awkward is authentic and charming and it’s a breath of fresh air.  Moms self-report loneliness in staggeringly high numbers, probably because they feel no one truly knows the truest version of themselves. And there’s one way to make that happen—by getting awkward.

    So join us this spring as we get honest, authentic, and yes, a bit awkward.

    We’re saving a seat for you.

  2. HopeKids Classes — What to Expect During the School Year

    Hala TompkinsDecember 30th, 2025Children's Ministry

    Dear Parents,

    The HopeKids ministry is happy to be able to provide classes for kids of all ages on Sunday mornings! Classes begin at 10am. Here’s what to expect on Sundays during the school year.

    When you arrive, a greeter will escort you to the coffee shop. There you will find the HopeKids kiosk and check in station. One of our friendly volunteers will be glad to get your kids registered and checked in for the morning. Once you are checked in, you and your children will be escorted to their appropriate classes. During the morning, your child will experience fun, age-appropriate Bible lessons from Brite*, age-appropriate worship, and have lots of fun. We look forward to meeting you this Sunday!

  4. Joe Friedman, A HopeArtist Presents: Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” Reading on Sunday, December 21st, 6-8:30 PM

    Hope Chapel of AustinDecember 15th, 2025Community Updates

    AN EVENING OF IMAGINATION
    Invite friends to come and hear this timeless redemption story as veteran actor, Joe Friedman, in period costume, reads aloud Charles Dickens’ beloved classic, A Christmas Carol, for our enjoyment. Ebenezer Scrooge, Marley, the Ghosts of Christmas: Past, Present, and Yet To Come, and Tiny Tim with the rest of the Cratchits will come to life in your imagination. Joe is in his 36th year of reading this story for others.

    BRING SOMETHING TO DO “AROUND THE HEARTH” 
    Bring your puzzles or knit, sew, make crafts (a great time to make ornaments!) – whatever your preferred activity to do is while you listen – in the Den upstairs.

    ARE CHILDREN WELCOME? YES, OF COURSE… Parents, it’s up to your discretion as to whether your kids have the right temperament for a two hour reading (with an intermission).

    Joe says, “Feel free to dress in period costume!”

    RSVP ON REALM
    No tickets needed: free for all as Joe’s gift – but let him know you’re coming.

    Hope Chapel of AustinNovember 22nd, 2025Community Updates

    START OR BEGIN A TRADITION  – COME LET US ADORE HIM, THE LORD JESUS
    Come as you are for our Christmas Eve Candlelight Service from  5-6:00 PM on December 24th: dressed for photos or bring your kids in pajamas. Bring your family and friends to sing the carols and hear the story once again of when Hope came as a human and lived among us.

    Then stand in the darkness as the first candle is lit and see it slowly spread across the room, candle to candle. At last enveloped in the glow, we remember when The Light who came into the world pierced the darkness.

    INVITE YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, COWORKERS, AND NEIGHBORS
    Invite someone with the postcards available in the lobby or download an invitation to send here.
