COME AS YOU ARE!

NEW HERE?

1. WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Definitely wear something. Anything less could make your first visit memorable for all the wrong reasons.

Seriously, come comfortable.

You'll see jeans, dresses, T-shirts, button-downs, and everything in between. There is no dress code, and nobody is keeping score.

Just come as you are.

2. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I WALK IN?

You'll be greeted when you arrive, but we're not going to overwhelm you.

One of our team members can show you where everything is, help you with your children, answer questions, or simply point you in the right direction.

And don't worry—you won't be singled out because you're new.

3. WHAT ABOUT MY KIDS?

We love having children at Hope Community Church.

Depending on the service you're attending, we have age-appropriate options available for your children. When you arrive, we'll explain what's available and help you find the right place.

And if you'd rather keep your children with you, that's perfectly fine too.

4. WHAT IS WORSHIP LIKE?

Our worship is energetic, sincere, and centered on Jesus.

You'll hear both newer worship music and songs that have been part of the church for generations. You'll see people worship in different ways—some quietly, some more expressively.

There's no pressure to worship like anyone else.

Participate as much or as little as you're comfortable with.

5. WHAT IS THE PREACHING LIKE?

We believe the Bible still speaks to real life.

Our preaching is biblical, practical, and passionate. We don't want you simply to hear a sermon—we want you to leave understanding God's Word and how it applies to your life.

And yes, we still believe God changes lives.

6. AM I GOING TO BE PUT ON THE SPOT?

No.

We won't ask you to stand and introduce yourself, speak publicly, or do anything embarrassing.

If you'd like someone to pray with you, we'd be honored to. If you'd rather simply attend, observe, and get comfortable, that's completely fine.

You can take Hope at your own pace.

7. What if I don't consider myself a "CHURCH PERSON"?

That’s completely okay.

You don’t need to know the songs, understand everything about the Bible, or know what to do during a service. You don’t need to have your life figured out before you walk through the doors.

Come as you are. Ask questions. Take your time. Get to know us.

We’re simply glad you came.

And I might end the entire page with:

Still have questions?

Come see for yourself. Your first Sunday might be easier than you think.

ABOUT US

About Us:

Pastor David and Sally Whitaker .

The Whitaker's know what it’s like to have no hope and feel that life is full of disappointment and despair. One day in a church like this, they found hope, joy and peace. Since that day it has been their desire to share this hope with others. It is a ministry in teaching the word and leading the way to eternal life. Pastor David Whitaker can relate to the young and old. He is gifted with the inspiration of the scriptures and will enlighten you in your understanding of God's word and prepare you for His coming.

What We Believe:

The Bible is the inspired Word of God (II Tim. 3:16)

Salvation comes by being delivered from sin by the shed blood of Jesus Christ. This deliverance comes by repenting of our sins, being baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins, and receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the Bible evidence of speaking in other tongues as set forth in Acts 2:1-4 and Acts 2:36-41.
There is only one God and in Him dwells all fullness of the Godhead bodily (I John 5:7 and Col. 2:9).
We are commanded to live a godly life separated from the sin of this world (Titus 2:12); and are warned that without holiness, no man shall see the Lord (Heb. 12:14).
There is no sickness or disease too hard for God. We believe in Divine Healing and that God still can move in a miraculous way (Isa. 53:5 and I Pet. 2:24).

We invite you to experience a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ!
