What to Expect
A typical service at Hope Community Church – Downtown consists of worship through song, the reading of Scripture, a message, and communion. It lasts about 75 minutes. We welcome people to participate in whatever way they feel comfortable. In other words, you are perfectly fine just sitting and observing.
We invite you to come as you are! Our culture is very-laid back, people tend to dress casually. After service, we invite you downstairs for coffee, treats & a time to hangout & meet others. We hope you can make it!
Our sanctuary is wheelchair accessible. There is an elevator available just inside the 11th Ave entrance.
Opportunities for Kids
Sunday School is available for Preschool – 5th Grade during the 8:30 service. Head down the stairs to the Hope Kids Corner to get your child checked in. We also have Nursery available during both the 8:30 & 10:30 services. Nursery check-in is located on the 3rd floor, as well as two restless child areas and a restroom for your convenience.

Messages
Romans
Current Series
The letter to the Romans has been labeled the most powerful piece of theological literature ever written! Perhaps more than any other book in the Bible, Romans has shaped Christian theology, local church mission, and individual lives for over 2000 years. We are thrilled to finally be preaching through Romans at Hope Community Church and studying this gem of a book together as a church. May God richly transform us in the light of his glory and grace displayed in this timeless treasure!

Leadership
Cor Chmieleski
Senior Associate & Lead Pastor of Downtown
When I first showed up at Hope Community Church, I hardly knew anything about God or the church. Since that time, this church has helped me learn more about the depths of God’s love and the necessity of being in community. If you feel alone or lost or are struggling with questions about faith and life, I hope that you’ll consider making Hope Community your church home. Our desire is that you’ll be able to hear clearly the hope God offers through Christ and find connection for this journey.
