Welcome to HOPE United Methodist Church

Where there is Hope for all!


If you are a visitor, we want to welcome you to Hope UMC. We are
glad that you are here with us today, and pray that you are touched by
the Spirit during our time together. We also strive to make your visit to
Hope as spiritual as possible. A nursery is available for our
younger guests and a parent during Worship and Sunday
School. Restrooms can be found on the other side of the social hall,
just past the stage, or at the bottom of the stairs on the lower level. If
there is anything that we can do to make your worship experience
more meaningful, please let us know. You are important to us!
