A full list can be found on this page. ChoirThe Good Hope choir exists to assist the congregation in bringing glory to God through musical praise. This effort unites the choir in both voice and heart. The choir sings during the worship service monthly with more choral pieces sung during the Christmas and Easter seasons. Opportunities also exist for soloists and smaller ensembles. Qualified instrumentalists are welcome to accompany choral pieces and play offertory. Rehearsals are held Sundays 5:30-6:30 pm September through May. Vocalists of all experience levels are welcome to join. The choir is directed by Kim Monroe and accompanied by Karen Hotham. College and Career ministry meets Sunday evenings at 7:35 pm. It seeks to provide college students and those early in their careers with an opportunity to meet and encourage each other in their faith. Pastoral and marriage counseling is available to members of Good Hope. Referrals are also available. Growth GroupsGrowth Groups are small group meetings that occur in homes. The size and settings of these groups enhance friendships and foster a depth of care for each other. The Biblical text of the previous week’s sermon is used as the text for the study. The format of the study gives opportunity to study the text in more depth and yields life applications. While these groups engage in a serious study of the Scriptures, laughter and joy abounds. FellowshipFellowship is an important aspect of our church life. Good Hope seeks to provide a number of fellowship opportunities, all listed on this page. Men’s MinistryMen’s Ministry recognizes the need for men to have a venue where they can gather together. Currently, the Men’s Ministry consists of a weekly breakfast September through May with periodic breaks. It begins at 6 am with breakfast provided followed by a study which concludes promptly at 6: 45. The content of the study is grounded in Scripture and is crafted to be relevant to men’s spiritual development. Good Hope recognizes that all have been recipients of God’s mercy. Mercy Ministries is an expression of the grace we have received. The practical ways in which Good Hope expresses this are available on this page.
