On-Ramp: Teachers (Dec. 7,14 & 21)

Pastor Carey Huffman | Rm 211

A new series of “on-ramp” classes provide orientation and training for various serve teams. This 3-week class is for anyone who is interested in teaching a Sunday, Wednesday or weekday class. 

Mission 101 (starts Jan. 4)

Pastor Carey Huffman | Room 211

Whether you’re new to New Hope – or you’ve been here for a while – if you want to deepen your faith and church involvement, this 4-week class will acquaint you with our core values and help you find purpose as part of the New Hope family.

Gardening Your Life: Grieving

Heidi Vermeer-Quist | Room 212

It’s about more than the loss of loved ones; it’s about working through reality in a variety of situations as God prunes and shapes us into the image of Christ. Topics include grieving well, seeing things from God’s perspective, and extending forgiveness. Participant guides will be available for $20 if you want one.

Jesus: Compassionate Son of Man

Cory Hansen/Faith Berry | Rm 215

Join this father/daughter teaching team as we dig into the New Testament book of Luke: one of the four Gospels written by a Gentile. 

Joshua: Canaan's Conqueror

Stephen Darnielle | Room 216

This faithful and mighty man of God is next in the Heroes of Hope series. Besides studying Joshua’s exciting adventures and the lessons we can learn from his life, we’ll also look at his connection to Jesus Christ and other parts of the New Testament.

Vida Nueva (Spanish)
 

Eduardo Plascencia | Room 217

We’re studying the book of Daniel, written by one of the Bible’s boldest and most prophetic followers of God.

All Things Israel
 

Rich Larsen | Room 219

Who are the Jews? What is Zionism? What’s the significance of the temple’s destruction in 70AD? What are God’s future plans for Israel? We’re addressing these and other questions regarding the nation of Israel.

Empowered: A Practicum

Barb Chapman | Room 220

We’re learning together how to honor the Holy Spirit by allowing Him to move in and through us as He desires. Ephesians 5:18 tells us to “Be continually filled with the Holy Spirit.

Concepts of Christianity

Loren Carlson | Room 221

We’re covering a wide range of issues, including: Who God is and who we are; what pleases God; what to do when prayers go unanswered; and true Christianity.

Battlefield of the Mind

Torrie Bagley | Room 224

That’s where conflict often plays out, which is why 2 Corinthians 10:5 tells us to “take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” God’s Word contains the strategy, but it’s also our primary weapon for spiritual warfare.

Titus: Paul's Point Man

Terry Knisley | Room 229

Discover who this man was and why Apostle Paul entrusted him with such great responsibility in the church.

Pre, Mid or Post

Gary Walter | Room 230

Pastor Weaver will be filling in for most of September. Then, Pastor Gary will resume teaching in October, dealing with various views of the end-times “rapture” of the church. It’s a matter of timing, but can we know for sure? Let’s take a fresh look at the Blessed Hope of the church.

The Gospel of Belief
 

Norm Tosten | Rm 231 

The gospel of John has been called “the most wonderful of all books.” We will endeavor, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to grasp with our minds and embrace with our heart the truth presented in this marvelous book.

NH Singles (22-35)

Ron Mamuya | Room 232

This Christ-centered community challenges unmarried believers to grow in faith, pursue holiness, and find their identity in Christ alone. Our aim is to encourage spiritual maturity, foster godly fellowship, and equip singles to serve faithfully in the body of Christ.

Not a Fan

Pastor Jared Acheson/ Adam Halford | Ullestad Chapel

Are you a fan or a follower? Jesus hasn’t called us to sit on the sidelines, but to be fully engaged in His mission. He’s not looking for fans, so we’re looking at what it means to be the kind of followers He calls us to be.

What Love Looks Like

HK & Rachel Bougher | Chapel

Jesus was moved with compassion for all who came to Him (Matthew 9) as He went about, teaching and healing everyone. In a world of hate, sorrow and confusion, Jesus calls us to show His love to a lost and dying world.

One Hit Wonders

Concerned Persons: Helping without Harming
