Welcome to Living Hope CRC
We are a community of people whom believe that all our hope is found not in what we do for God, but what God has done for us in Jesus Christ. His love and grace is foundational for all we do in worship in our ministries and for how we live with one another. We hope you will experience that same love and grace along with us.
What Can I Expect from Service?
The Word
The Word of God is central and our understanding of God's Word is nurtured through preaching. We believe it is important to hear all of God’s Word, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Preaching at Living Hope endeavors to proclaim God’s Word fully.
Music
Leading and promoting congregational singing is accomplished with various musical instrumentation (piano, organ, voice, guitar etc.), and is intended to join our voices to scripturally relevant themes featuring compositions from the 1st Century, to current day. We bring music from sacred composers such as Bach, Beethoven, and Mendelssohn, while intertwining them with our modern contemporary greats.
Biblical Foundation
Our worship is centered on the Word of God and aims to be joyful, reverent, relevant and formational. We draw on both traditional and contemporary forms of worship, remembering that worship is the central part of the covenantal relationship between God and His people and the goal of worship is to glorify the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Sunday School
All Children, age 4 to grade 5, are invited to join the Sunday School Program. They leave at a designated time during the morning worship service, and parents may gather their children from their respective rooms after the service. We also offer nursery for children 0-3 years.
Prayer and Fellowship
We join in prayer several times during a service. A small prayer group also meets every Sunday morning before the service.
After every service, we gather in the fellowship hall to enjoy refreshments, join in fellowship with other members and meet new people.
Goodwill Offering
We collect a good will offering for different local and international causes every Sunday. We like to consider the offering as a way to give back to God for the gifts He has given us. We are all blessed, give joyfully as you are able!

The sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper are celebrated as continual reminders of God's faithfulness to His covenant people. When celebrated in connection with the preaching of God’s Word, sacraments are visible proclamations and reminders of Jesus Christ: crucified,risen and Lord.
