“Freely you have received; freely give.”Matthew 10:8 9 AM SUNDAY | AUGUST 7. Our community is committed to growing, gathering, giving, and going together.

9 AM SUNDAY | JULY 31. Within Hope Church we are united in our commitments to grow, gather, give and go. The primary reason why we do these things is because Jesus included these habits in His life, and He summoned us to do the same.

Most churches have the same vision for…
9 AM SUNDAY | JULY 3. Let’s be honest, “go therefore and make disciples of all nations” is a big ask. Participating wholeheartedly in Jesus’ Great Commission is a big investment of time, money, and energy. So much so that many who do eventually burn out. However, there are also many who endure for years, decades, even lifetimes co-missioning with Jesus. How do they?…
The Harvard Gulch Hope Group put 3 relay teams together to participate in the Colorado Triathlon in Boulder recently. What a joy to celebrate individual and group accomplishments, work together as a team, and appreciate the gifts of life and health in God’s stunning creation! By God’s grace, there was no drowning, flat tires, or sprained ankles and there’s already whispers of doing it again next…
