What time should I arrive?

The Southern Gospel Worship Service starts at 9:00pm and the Contemporary Worship Service starts at 11:00 a.m.  Plan on arriving at least 15 minutes before the service begins. That will give you time to park your car, drop off your children at our children's ministry, and find your seat in the sanctuary.

We also have an evening Worship Service which starts at 6:00pm. This warm family environment service offers a relaxed atmosphere where anyone can come and expect to encounter God.

What should I wear?

Dress is casual - be comfortable! Some people like to dress up for the morning services, but jeans are fine.

What door do I enter?

The main entrance faces the North.  You are welcome to pull throug the car canopy and drop off loved ones before parking.  When you enter, there will be people available to greet you and to answer any questions.

How long is the service?

The Southern Gospel Worship Service starts at 9:00am, and the Contemporary Worship Service starts at 11:00am. There are Sunday School classes between services. Our evening Worship Service starts at 6:00pm and finishes around 7:15pm.

Although we plan the Service orders, we remain sensitive to last minute changes or a spiritual leading and directing by the Holy Spirit.

Is there something for my kids?

Of course! We offer a fully staffed, trained and background checked nursery for infants & toddlers, and also classes for older kids.

Are you after my money?

Absolutely not! We do not expect our guests to give in the offering at their first service. Our service is our gift to you. The offering is for our regular attenders and church members.

What is the music like?

At New Hope we enjoy worshipping our Savior in many musical styles and formats:

  • Our 9:00am service includes Traditional and Southern Gospel flavored worship music.  Banjo, guitars, bass, fiddle and vocalists blend together to worship our Lord with a unique sourthern flavor.
  • Vocalists, guitasr, flute, violin, horns, percussion and keyboard combined to worship the Lord wtih cutting edge selections and billboard worship music.  Our 11:00am service is a high-impact, spirit led, band-style contemporary style worship service.
