First Sunday in New Spaces
January 15th, 2019 ›The time has finally come! We just received our final approval and January 20 will be our first Sunday back in our new, beautiful building. If you are new to Hope, you probably don’t even remember having children’s classes or events in the building (we flooded in the Memorial Day floods of 2015). Our kids don’t either. This Sunday is the beginning of a new era at Hope Chapel. Don’t miss it!
Classes for kids in Kindergarten and younger are on the ground floor. The rooms will be marked to make it simple to find the one you need. Elementary classes will be held upstairs and will also be labeled.
Each child in our HopeKids program needs to be checked in at one of two kiosks: in the foyer on your way into the sanctuary or near the coffee shop. No matter the age of your child, please check them in and have them wear their name tag to class.
Children preschool-aged and younger can be checked in and brought to their classrooms at 9:50 on Sunday. Kindergarten and elementary grades will worship with parents and then be released to their classes.
As always, there will be friendly people in blue HopeKids t-shirts to help you in any way needed.
Let the celebrations begin!

Parent/Child Dedication Class
February 5th, 2019 ›Calling all new parents! Have you had a baby in the past few months or years? Have you considered publicly dedicating your child to the Lord Jesus? Do you have questions about how to create a Christian home?
Plan to join Pastor Geno Hildebrandt and Children’s Ministry Director Hala Tompkins for two classes on Saturday, February 9 and 16, 2019. We will discuss the significance of child dedication, parents’ responsibilities in raising their children in the “fear and admonition of the Lord” and how to bless your children. We’ll also talk about Christian parenting and creating a Christian home. Couples are encouraged to attend these classes together.
Sign up for the classes and childcare by contacting Hala.
