Life Groups

life groups

One of our highest values as a New Hope family is to create community through authentic relationships. We believe this is one tangible way to walk out our faith journey with people who love and support us. This is why we emphasize the importance of being part of a life group. These are great avenues to connect, share real life and serve together. Find a group that's right for you and start connecting now!

If you are interested in starting a life group or need more information, contact Josh Hunt:

There is no "right way" to grieve. It is a journey that should not be traveled alone. A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.
