  2. Wednesday Family Night Groups are underway!

    Every Wednesday, 6-7:30 p.m. Hope Chapel hosts weekly adult small groups meet for Bible study, fellowship, and support. There’s also a fun & biblical program just for kids. The Junior High youth group meets at the same time. Find out more and check out our current list of adult groups HERE.

    Find a group – or start a new one – even if it isn’t on Wednesday nights! If you would like to start a new group or need help finding a group, please contact Pastor Matt Ryniker, mattryniker@gmail.com. Not all small groups must meet at Family Night, so if you’d like to start one in your home, talk with Pastor Matt.
