What is Family Night? Hey Hope Families, we are excited to offer a new initiative we are calling - Hope Kids Family Nights!  Family Nights is designed for parents and their children in grades SK to 5.   Our aim is to come alongside families, equipping them to train up their child in the way they should go so that they will not depart from the Christian faith (Proverbs 22:6).  Our hope is to bring families together by exploring fundamental Gospel truths through the use of a catechism to encourage open discussion surrounding God, rooting His truths in our hearts, and growing a deeper relationship with Jesus.  Psalm 78:7 - setting hope in God; know and obey His commands. Both parents and their child are required to register to attend. Children must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.

Many international students spend the holidays away from family. You can make a difference this Christmas by opening your home, sharing a meal, and offering warm hospitality. A simple lunch or dinner and quality time can mean the world to a student far from home. Christmas Friendship Families will run from December 24 to 29, 2025. When registering, you’ll select your hosting date and whether your meal will be lunch or dinner.                                                                                        Hosts should: Welcome at least two studentsProvide transportation to and from your homeAccommodate dietary needs (halal, vegetarian, vegan)Provide references prior to approvalThis is not a time for theological discussion or persuasion, but an opportunity to build friendships, show kindness, and create a welcoming environment where students feel valued. Through warmth, patience, and grace, we reflect Christ’s love in action—often the most powerful testimony of all. “I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” Matthew 25:35 As a host, you have the special opportunity to extend Christ’s love and genuine hospitality to students from a variety of faiths, backgrounds, and worldviews, making these gatherings both meaningful and memorable. RSVP is open now! Please note that language barriers or student schedules may occasionally affect plans, so we encourage hosts to confirm details closer to the date.

What is a prayer summit? It is a time for God’s people to seek the Lord and His agenda for their individual lives, families, church, and community.It is a gathering of individuals who take seriously their responsibility to corporately prepare their lives and church for an outpouring of God’s blessing.It is a group and individual experience of the glory of Christ within and among His people.It is a prolonged praise and prayer meeting at which individuals from the same church or group discover and express their oneness in Christ.It is an environment where personal revival is nurtured and common.It is a time for repentance and reconciliation.It is a time of spiritual warfare as Christians are led to deal with areas of personal and corporate sin.It is the beginning of a new expressed dependence on God in the church, and the first phase of real revival.What will be our focus? We will seek God’s face more so than His hands.We want to talk to Him, not just about Him.We want to sing to Him, not just about Him.We want to passionately seek to understand, know, and intimately relate to Him, first and foremost.anything else will only be significant if it is in response to this commitment. As we know His heart through this extended time of worship and devotion, we can then respond to His will as His Spirit directs. We come with no personal agendas and we will leave with only one - HIS!
