Create a welcoming atmosphere for people when they arrive and answer any questions they may have.

Answer questions related to upcoming church events and provide directions.

Create a welcoming atmosphere for people and make them feel like family. This includes handing out bulletins as everyone arrives, greeting people inside before service and helping them to find seats. As well as pass out the offering bags during the tithes and offering time.

Create an environment for worship to take place each Sunday. This team arrives early to setup the sound equipment for the worship service. They also run ProPresenter for our worship, announcements, and sermon slides. If you are interested, you can also be trained on how to run and mix the sound for the service.

If you have a gifting in music (instrument or vocal), we would love to meet with you to audition to be a part of our worship teams on Sunday morning. There are also opportunities to lead worship in other various venues, such as Groups and Men’s/Women’s Ministry events.

Providing Spiritual, Practical, and Emotional Support for New Moms.

The Mission of Living Hope is to demonstrate the love of God by providing hope through spiritual, practical, and emotional support for young moms.

Living Hope addresses the practical needs of Embrace Grace graduates and other young moms as well as encourages their spiritual growth. This group is for any young woman who is pregnant, or has recently had a baby, or who is looking for support, friendship and assistance. At Living Hope we understand the concerns that come with pregnancy or being a new mom. We are dedicated to providing an environment that is loving and confidential where young moms can safely and comfortably share their concerns.

This group is also for those women touched by an unplanned pregnancy who want help and are perhaps interested in the Embrace Grace Program but the program is in between sessions. In these situations, Living Hope works together with Embrace Grace to provide spiritual, practical, and emotional support through one–on–one meetings with the women.

We meet on the first Friday of each month at 5:30pm at the Branch Offices. Also, on the third Wednesday of each month we have a Park Day at various parks from 9:30am–12:00pm. Children are welcome at all events.

Please contact Mari Hoffman at [email protected] to get involved.
