Welcome to Hope Eternal Church!
Only a few years ago, three separate churches merged because they envisioned a stronger future in which they would be better positioned as one to
accomplish Christ’s mission of reaching their community with the good news
of Jesus Christ. That is how we became Hope Eternal United Methodist Church.
Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic and the recent changes in the
United Methodist denomination, our faith remains unwavering. We believe
that the world needs Jesus now more than ever, and we are committed to our
mission of sharing His message with our community.
We are people of hope, offering hope in Jesus to anyone looking for hope.
We come together seeking to grow in our relationship with God through faith
in his son, Jesus Christ. No one here is perfect. However, through faith in
Jesus’ death and resurrection, we trust God’s promise of forgiveness,
acceptance, and a glorious future in the age to come.
Because of God’s love for us, we seek to share his love with others.
At Hope Eternal, our doors are open to all. Whether you are just beginning to
explore Christianity, have accepted Jesus into your heart, or are further along
in your faith journey, you are welcome here. We promise to love, accept, and
include you, just as Jesus does. We are here for you, ready to share eternal hope
through Jesus Christ!
In Christ’s Love,
Deborah Ryder, Pastor
What To Expect on Sundays
Sunday mornings start with a greeting at the door and a copy of the weekly discipleship bulletin. As Hope Eternal members we agree to support our community of faith through our prayers, presences, gifts, service and witness. The discipleship bulletin offers a variety of ways in which we can live into this call to be disciples of Jesus Christ.
The discipleship bulletin provides information about our local partnership in mission and ministry, and how we can help our neighbors help each other. Within the discipleship bulletin you will find ways to be in the Word and in prayer with your Hope Eternal family throughout the week. Important upcoming events will also be highlighted, as well as the scriptures for Sunday.
Worship celebration begins at 9:30 a.m. This worship time is traditional and contemporary, with some of your old favorite hymns. We utilize the big screen in the front of the worship area to provide responsive texts, including hymn lyrics.
Christian education classes have two options. The 8:30am class is a discussion group from the Upper Room Disciplines, A Book Of Daily Devotions. The 10:30am class is a discussion group based on the liturgy from the International Sunday School Lessons.
For both worship celebrations the dress is more a come as you are…jeans and t-shirts are mainly what you will find. Although, you might spot a dress or suit in the mix too! (Note: Our parking lot is flat and long, with handicap parking spaces to the left of the building/door. The building is one floor.)
