As the church grows larger, it must also grow smaller.

Small groups are usually made up of 12 people or less, and they meet weekly in someone's home. Now of course this is different from group to group. Some groups are a little larger and some are a little smaller. Each group has it's own quirks that make it unique. As it stands now, there are nearly 25 groups meeting at different times.

Since the fall of 2006 our small groups have been doing something special. They have been progressing through the basic New Hope 101-401 video learning materials. The 101-401 series teaches the basics about New Hope's beliefs and challenges those involved to grow their faith. Due to the fact that these "classes" build on one another, the groups have been "closed" -meaning that they don't bring in new people. However, this fall will mark the end of the 401 series and the groups will again be "open" to anyone. If you have been attending, or have been thinking about attending New Hope and you would like to get involved, there is no better way than a small group. Look for small group sign-ups coming in the late fall of 2007.

In the mean time, if you are curious about the materials that the groups have been studying durining the past year, you can find them here...
