Children’s Ministry
The Children’s Ministry strives to offer many opportunities to nurture your child’s faith. Hope Church provides Church School at 9:40 a.m. and Children in Worship during the 11:00 a.m. worship service. On Sunday, September 9, we will celebrate the start of an exciting year together.

Church School
The children will gather together each Sunday morning at 9:40 in Room 204. The Church School hour is a great time to explore the stories and people of the Bible and make connections with other stories. As the children learn about their place in God’s family they can begin to live out their faith with their families, community, friends and the world. The children have the time to ask questions, hear some new stories and build their faith with their teachers and church friends.

Children in Worship
Children in Worship (CIW) will also begin on September 9. Children will leave the 11 a.m. service and meet together and be led to their worship centers. The storytellers are looking forward to worshipping with them in this special environment throughout the year. Each week the story for each worship center is printed in the bulletin. Adults may like to make a connection with their Prayer Pal by asking about the story the child heard in their worship center. Remember the children and storytellers that are worshipping in their centers in your prayers as you worship. As always, we invite anyone who is interested in the CIW experience to come and worship with the children on any Sunday.
