GROUP TIME

Pursue growth and accountability within a community of believers

Every Christ-follower is commanded to do life together with others. At Hope, we call this Group Time — a chance to regularly connect with others to grow in Christ.

Experience incredible growth in your relationship with Jesus as you regularly pray, encourage, and care for one another.

Joining a group

Which group(s) should you choose?

Finding a group should be easy, not overwhelming! With many options to choose from, consider a few helpful starting points:

  • Size: Large (special events), medium (10-15) or small (10 or below)?
  • Location: At the church or offsite?
  • Gender: Men only, women only, or mixed?

Whatever you decide, there's a group at Hope Oakville where you can thrive.

HOME GROUPS

Connect authentically in an intimate setting

Home Groups are mixed-gender, providing a space to pray, worship and encourage one another in the comfort of a church member’s home.

Whether you're married and want to join with your spouse, or single and looking to meet other believers, Home Groups range in size from 10-15 and gather a few times per month.

women's GROUP

Grow and mature with sisters in Christ

Women of all ages gather weekly to encourage each other through prayer and fellowship. Experience the transformative power of the gospel by studying God's Word alongside women eager to grow in grace, knowledge, and love for Jesus.

Join us at the church on Tuesdays at 9:30AM (with childcare) or 7PM.

YOUNG ADULTS

Faith and friendship for young adults

If you’re 18-25 and searching for a place to belong, our Young Adults group offers a vibrant community where you can worship, learn, and connect. It’s a space to grow in your faith and form lasting friendships as you navigate adult life.

Young Adults meets Thursday evenings at 7PM. Twice per month they meet as a large group and twice per month they meet in small groups — join us any Thursday!

men's GROUP

Band together with brothers in Christ

God is calling men to stand for Jesus in these increasingly dark times. He wants to strengthen us by His grace, so we can be people who pass the message of hope on to others.

Every Monday at 7PM, men of all ages gather at the church to dive deeper into God's Word through study, prayer, and encouragement.

Come strengthen your faith and build bonds with other men on fire for Jesus Christ!

MAMAS & MINIS

Fellowship with other moms

Want to get involved in a community of other moms in the same stage of life? Mamas & Minis is for you! We’re so blessed to have a facility that allows playtime for the kids and a space for moms to get to know one another.

Our new program includes free play, song & story time and an opportunity for moms to fellowship and pray together. Bring the kiddies some of your own nut-free snacks, and enjoy some coffee and time with other mamas! 

Mamas & Minis meets every other Thursday from 9:30AM-11:30AM inside the Pre-K/JK rooms. Please enter through the front accessible doors.

D-GROUPS

Deepen your relationship with Jesus

In a fast-paced world, D-Groups offer a place to slow down and intentionally deepen your relationship with Jesus through purposeful discipleship.

In these same-gender small groups of 3-5 people, you’ll be transformed by God’s Word, sanctified by its truth, and equipped to disciple others.

D-Groups meet weekly for 12-18 months and can gather anywhere — from a living room to your local coffee shop.

seniors (55+)

Share in the journey of life together

If you’re in the "senior" age range looking for like-minded believers, we invite you to Hope Seniors for a weekly time of fellowship, Bible study, and prayer.

Our mission is for seniors to dive deeper into God’s Word and grow in their relationship with Jesus. You’ll find a welcoming community of believers committed to spiritual growth, building deeper relationships, and sharing in the journey of life together.

Hope Seniors meets on Thursdays at 9:30AM at the church.

Young Adults Retreat

Young Adults Retreat

November 28, 6PM - November 30, 1PM
This year's young adult retreat offers a unique opportunity for 18-25 years olds to set aside a weekend to meet with God. We will be spending time in the Psalms. This prayer book of the Bible offers a spiritual tool that will transform the believer who uses it. These prayers offer words for the times that we have none, they offer reminders of God's character when His goodness feels fading, they offer words of praise when our hearts struggle to produce gratitude, and they offer words of lament when life doesn't make sense. For the one who chooses to read and pray the Psalms, they will find spiritual ammunition for every season of life. It's time to wield the power of one of the greatest gifts in God's Word - the gift of Psalms.  No transportation will be provided for this retreat. Young Adults are responsible for arranging their own transportation. *PLEASE NOTE* Retreats are an intentional time of worship, teaching, and community for our small groups. We ask that young adults be committed to the entire weekend and that they make sure not to come late or leave early.  When - Nov 28-30, 2025 Where - Circle Square Ranch in Brantford, 1645 Colborne St E, Brantford, ON Arrive - Registration is from 6:00PM - 7:00PM  Departure - 1PM Sunday, November 30   Cost - The retreat cost is $210 ($205 + FEE); this payment can be made by Visa or Mastercard If you have any further questions, please email [email protected].
