Recent Changes at Hope Central Campus

Hope thanks the volunteers who have provided some needed updates to Hope Central Campus. In particular, the rear pew in front of the AV booth has been removed to add more handicap access.

Additionally, our nursery room was transformed to include space for a small meeting room, to provide our teams with more gathering space.

These changes will undoubtedly help Hope better serve our congregation. Thank you to all our handy volunteers!

"When I first started the Bible Reading Challenge, I did not think it was all that unique or challenging. Well, 51 days in, I realize I was wrong. The readings in Isaiah coupled with the Pastor's reflections are very powerful... What a great idea this was..."
