Asking questions about our faith is part of the DNA of New Hope’s. Young or old, the church encourages you to learn more about your faith and ask the faith questions that are the most meaningful to you. We strive to offer a continuum of programs for all ages, all with the common element of "wondering". In children’s church school, our children wonder what Biblical characters in their stories felt. In our youth group, our teens wonder how the Bible applies to their lives. And in our adult programs, we explore our own Spirituality and our walk as Christians, regularly reading Scripture and then wondering what it means.
Shaping a Christian education, like our faith, is a life-long process. At New Hope Presbyterian Church, we offer educational opportunities for people of all ages and stages of life.
