If you go to Hope, you’re Family! We encourage you to be a part of a Hope Group. We have Hope Groups scattered throughout Austin throughout the week; look below to find one that fits you!
Many of our Hope Groups meet during Family Night which occurs Wednesday nights at Hope Chapel. Everyone is welcome: bring the kids, your roommate, or come alone to meet with one of the small groups, from 6-7:30 p.m., the meal begins at 5:00 p.m. (Chef Abby). We have programs for children from ages 0 through junior high, along with groups for adults.
Spring Family Night Wednesdays began January 11th. Other groups meet outside Family Night. Contact group leaders for more information.
Wednesdays, 6-7:30 p.m. at Hope Chapel, room 206
Our focus will not be on becoming expert interpreters of Job, although we will study the book, but on probing our own observations and concerns about walking with God.
How do we continue as Jesus-followers through difficult times, times of confusion and pain as well as in times when all is right with us in the world? Our time together will require us to listen well one to another and share with integrity.
Wednesdays, 6-7:30 p.m. at Hope Chapel, room 203
This is an open group for all ages, married or single. Our group’s focus is Bible Study. This year we will study 1, 2, and 3 John using the study from NavPress.
If you are looking for encouragement in your walk with Christ or need a better method of studying the Bible, please join us on Wednesdays at Hope Chapel. There is homework each week.
Wednesdays, 6-7:30 p.m. at Hope Chapel, Sanctuary (Main Auditorium)
Each week, this group gathers to pray for God to move in our midst at Hope Chapel and in our city – Unto Revival in our land and Jesus’ Return!
We want to know Him more deeply and walk with Him more intimately. We want to walk in the gifts of the Spirit and always make time to pray for one another and for what God’s doing at Hope Chapel.
Wednesdays, 6-7:30 p.m. at Hope Chapel, room 204
This group led by Earl and Kristen Proeger uses the videos and study guide of the book, Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution, by Carl R. Trueman. A Christian perspective, but a history, of how the world arrived at its current, disorienting state of identity politics, and how should the church respond. We are watching the video together and reading one chapter a week.
Mondays, 6:30-8:00 p.m. via Zoom
A virtual group meeting weekly on Zoom – reading scripture and talking about it. No prep or homework. We purpose to read God’s word weekly and discuss what we’ve heard. Bring your favorite translation. (Up to 100 people are welcome). Contact us for Zoom link.
Every other Sunday at 1 p.m., location changes
We meet every other Sunday at 1:00 p.m. for potluck lunch with study of the Bible afterwards. We’re an “over 50” group but all are welcome. Contact Scott for the location.
Thursdays, 6-7:30 p.m. at Hope Chapel, in the Lighthouse
The structure of the small group will be we gather and read through a chapter of a book in the Bible (starting with 1 Peter), then we break off and spend about 10 minutes praying and reflecting on the scripture. After the allotted 10 minutes, we reconvene and share something that stood out to us or that we felt the Holy Spirit was teaching about that passage. This is called Circle Preaching and it is a wonderful practice that helps focus on Scripture better and helps our ability to talk about scripture effectively.
I would really encourage anyone who wants to come, please come! I am passionate about this new small group and I believe Hope Chapel really does need more small groups. So, if you are missing Christian fellowship outside of our regular Sunday meetings, please join me on Thursdays for our Circle Preaching small group.
Fridays, 7pm
Mostly focused on building community. We have a group thread to coordinate meeting dates/times, contact Melody for more info.
