Groups
LIFE IS BETTER TOGETHER
We believe that authentic groups provide the context for Christian community for people of all ages. These are places to be real and to be loved, as we care about each other’s needs, pray together, and share together from God’s word
Hope offers several opportunities to connect with others in small groups and classes.
PRACTICING THE WAY AT HOPE
These courses offer different ways that you can draw closer to Christ and one another as we learn to Be With Jesus, Become Like Jesus, and Do What Jesus Did.

WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY: ESTHER
A beautiful queen, her courageous cousin, a foreign land, and a murderous adversary - the book of Esther has all the elements of an epic drama. The story unfolds at a time when the people of God are split between nations with an uncertain future. While the name of God may not be mentioned in the book of Esther, its pages highlight His work among His people and foreshadow Jesus’s very ministry to us - darkness to light, mourning to celebration, death to life.
In this 7-session study, Kelly Minter invites you into the daring faith modeled by Esther and her cousin Mordecai—a faith developed over time, rooted in the goodness of God, lived out through extraordinary circumstances, and used to change the world. Although our time looks different from Esther’s, our God is just as active and faithful today, and He has called you for such a time as this.
Features:
- Workbook
- Verse-by-verse Bible study of the book of Esther
- Content that explores the historical context of Esther’s day
- Teaching videos from Kelly Minter
This 7-week study will be facilitated by Pastor Sheryl.
Wednesday afternoons at 1pm, beginning January 14.
