What's new at Hope.

  1. Hope 101

    Hope 101 is back! Are you new or new-ish to Hope Chapel? Please join us for a very casual, 2-night gathering where you’ll be served dinner and get a chance to meet Hope Chapel’s staff and board members. You’ll meet new friends, hear about many of the different things going on at Hope and how you can get involved. Bring your family and your questions!

    * Please RSVP here for dinner and childcare at Hope.org by Sunday, August 11th

  2. The MomCo@Hope

    Dear Mama,

    We start our new year with a new name. Goodbye Mops@Hope and hello to The MomCo@Hope. Same mission, new name, and a new opportunity for mothers of young children to find their people and fall in love with momming again.

    The MomCo is declaring this the year of new things. A new season needs a new strategy, and we choose wild, contagious hope. Hope is not a passive exercise in wishing; it’s an active approach to living life engaged. Hope is generative. In Proverbs 13:12 we read, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.” Hope provides clarity, vision and vitality.

    Find new Hope, new friends, and a community that understands you at the MomCo@Hope.

    Register for our Spring 2025 semester here.
