Adult Gatherings

God centered relationships are important. Getting connected in such a way to promote internal strength is our goal.  Below are the adult classes and groups that are currently meeting.

Sunday Mornings at HOPE

9:00am   Blended Care & Share meet in Room 3 on 1st & 3rd Sundays. This is a gathering where single parents & blended families can encourage others and be encouraged as we strive to raise our children with a biblical worldview. (Adults who were raised by a single parent or blended family are welcome to join us, share your stories, and learn from God's word together. Adults with guardianship: grandparents/aunts/ uncles/etc. who are raising children are also welcome to attend.)

9:00am   Adoptive & Foster Parent’s Class meet in Room 3 on 2nd & 4th Sundays. This group gathers for support and encouragement. Anyone interested in foster care, adoption, or in supporting those involved in this ministry are welcome to attend.

Revelation 1:3 says, "Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things that are written in it; for the time is near." We will see not only what is to come, but the Lord Jesus in all His glory! This study will connect many dots from the Old Testament through the New Testament. The YouTube playlist of Mac's Bible teachings can be accessed HERE.
