GROWTH GROUPS OPTIONS
2022-2023 Growth Groups
At New Hope, one of the first steps we take to grow on the journey together is joining a Growth Group. See group bios and register below:
Each week, groups have a Biblical discussion. Some groups focus on topics of interest or a stage of life. Others Groups are more Bible Study focused, reading and studying through it, together.
Sign up below to join a group. After you signup, one of our leaders will be in touch with you to give you everything you need to join your Growth Group! Our Growth Groups season runs from Oct 2021-June 2022.
