  2. Following Jesus: Making Disciples

    Perhaps you have often heard it said Jesus called us to make disciples, NOT converts! Yet many of us live with a sense of guilt about not actually making disciples.

    Here’s a simple question: “Do you know HOW to make a disciple?”

    Did you know that we have a family that was sent out of Hope Chapel and moved to India that actually helped start a rapidly multiplying movement of disciple-making?

    On Sept 6 and 7 Robin and Isabel Smith will share their vast experience of disciple-making with Hope Chapel.  They will help facilitate an interactive time of exploring what Scripture says about how Jesus actually made disciples, while praying together about how to do this effectively in our own spheres of influence. You’ll come away with practical tools to further equip you in making disciples as Jesus did, and with a deeper understanding of God’s heart for people.

  4. MOPS at Hope

    Join us for MOPS at Hope. The mother of all mom meetups isn’t complete without you.

    When: Our final meeting for 2019 is on Monday, December 9. We’ll start our spring program on Monday, January 13.

    Where: Hope Chapel, 6701 Arroyo Seco Austin 78757

    Sign up for the spring 2020 semester here or by contacting Hala Tompkins.

    MOPS is a ministry to Mothers of Preschoolers in Austin. At MOPS, we create a space for you to get to know other moms and participate in a small group of women that truly cares for each other. There’s also a learning time and food, all while your little ones are in the MOPS Kids program (4 months through pre-k age).  Teaching, by both experienced moms and professionals, covers topics such as but not limited to womanhood, marriage and family.

  5. Family Night Begins!

    First Night of Family Night for the Fall 2019 semester.

    Are you looking for connection?

    For friends and family?

    For people who miss you when you’re not there?

    For someone to follow God with?

    Family Night makes a space for adult Hopites in small groups to meet weekly while providing a meal, and if you have kids, a fun & biblical kids’ program. The Junior High also meet. So this allows younger Hopites from 0-junior high to participate in great programs while their parents connect with friends.

    MEET AT HOPE
    Some Hope Groups prefer meeting in homes but Hala Tompkins, our Children’s Ministry Director, mentions, “…when kids outnumber adults, Family Night is a great option for managing bigger numbers of young children.”

    MEAL
    The catered meal is from 5:30-6:15 PM which gives us 15 minutes to clean up before our gatherings at 6:30 PM.

    CURIOUS AND NEED MORE INFORMATION ABOUT GROUPS?
    Contact Matt Ryniker, Associate Pastor, to help you find a small group to walk through life with other believers in Jesus. Some groups meet in homes rather than at Hope’s Family Night.
