SUNDAY SERVICE
Our relaxed service held at 10.00am Sunday mornings is the time when
everyone from the church, together with visitors, meet together as one
group. Our service includes singing and music that reflects our hope in God,
a time for prayer, a message and morning tea.
PRE-SCHOOL
"Tod Squad" is held every Sunday at church and includes bible stories,
singing and games (for preschool children).
CHILDREN
Our Sunday morning children’s programme, “Kids' Church”, is a vital part of
what we do. During the Sunday morning service (at 10:30am) the children
separate for their own special time. They participate in singing, stories,
craft activities and teaching lessons. Please click on the separate 'Kids"
link at the top of this page to read more information.
KALEIDOSCOPE - JUST FOR WOMEN
We have an enthusiastic team of women who are dedicated to helping others
through a range of activities that we call 'Kaleidoscope'. The aim is to
enable women to form friendships and find encouragement and support to live
life well. To do this we run social nights, organise speakers on relevant
issues, attend women's conferences and provide great resources.
MEN
It is a great challenge to live as a Christian man in today’s world. The
Men’s Ministry of Hope Community Church exists to provide encouragement and
support for men as they live out their faith in their homes and workplaces.
A range of events are conducted throughout each year, such as Men’s
breakfasts, guest speaker nights, a camp, father and son activities, working
bees and social activities. Events occur approximately every 6 weeks.
HOME GROUPS
Do you ever feel that you would like to get to know people better and learn
more about living the Christian life? Home Groups are a great way to do
this. They involve a small number of families meeting weekly or fortnightly
in a home for a meal, discussion and prayer.
Home groups are currently being held on the following nights:
Tuesday 7.45pm fortnightly
Sunday 6.45pm fortnightly
MISSIONS
As a part of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, Hope Community Church is
committed to world missions, stressing the fullness of Christ in personal
experience, building the Church and preaching the Gospel (good news) to the
ends of the earth. Hope is committed through offering financial support and
prayer for our missionaries who often come back to visit us. Don't miss the

Christian faith in more detail, we would be very pleased to help. The "Alpha
Course" is an opportunity to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed,
non-threatening manner over eleven thought-provoking weekly sessions.
