Adult Ministries

Bible Study

Bible

A "disciple" is someone who is dedicated to the teachings of another in order to be more like that person. As disciples of Christ, we study His word to continue our spiritual growth and become more like Him, and the Bible Study courses and studies are intended to help you do just that. Bible Study meets every Wednesday evening at 7:15 p.m. in the Church Fellowship Hall.

Sunday School

Our Adult Sunday School classes offer a convenient opportunity to meet other church members and to learn about the Christian faith. Classes meet immediately following Sunday Worship Service and offer a variety of topics, learning formats, and sizes. You will find classes for young families, mixed ages, and senior adults.

Emmaus

The Emmaus movement is ecumenical. The objective of Emmaus is to inspire, challenge, and equip church members for Christian action in their homes, churches, and place of work.

The Walk to Emmaus is a three-day experience which takes a New Testament look at Christianity as a lifestyle. The Walk to Emmaus is a spiritual walk, not a physical walk. Combining efforts of laity and clergy, Emmaus is designed to strengthen and renew one’s faith, and the local church through the development of Christian disciples.

Choir

Our church is blessed to have many talented musicians in our midst. There are opportunities for all ages to participate in our choir as well as contribute individually. Come and join our uplifting choir! If you are interested in sharing your instrumental music, please contact Ann Butt, our Music Director. We have opportunities for special music and accompaniment of our choral group. The New Hope UMC Choir meets for choir rehearsal at 6:00 p.m. every Wednesday in the Fellowship Hall.

Men's Ministry

Men's Ministry exists to spread a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples through Jesus Christ. We do this for the glory of God by treasuring Jesus Christ above everything this world has to offer and by growing together as men in devotion to God.

Women's Daytime Book Study

The life of a woman today isn't really all that different from that of Mary and Martha in the New Testament. Like Mary, you long to sit at the Lord's feet...but the daily demands of a busy world just won't leave you alone. Like Martha, you love Jesus and really want to serve him...yet you struggle with weariness, resentment, and feelings of inadequacy.

Then comes Jesus, right into the midst of your busy Mary/Martha life-and he extends the same invitation he issued long ago to the two sisters of Bethany. Tenderly he invites you to choose "the better part"-a joyful life of "living-room" intimacy with him that flows naturally into "kitchen service" for him.

How can you make that choice? With a fresh approach to the familiar Bible story and its creative, practical strategies, you will see how all of us-Marys and Marthas alike-can draw closer to our Lord, deepening our devotion, strengthening our service, and doing both with less stress and greater joy. Please make plans to join us each Wednesday at 1:00 p.m. in the Church Fellowship Hall.

Women's Ministry

"They had been followers of Jesus and had cared for him while he was in Galilee. Then they and many other women had come with him to Jerusalem.” Mark 15:41
From the beginning of Christ’s ministry, women have played an integral role in the Church. This tradition continues today in all areas of the church, both local and worldwide. We invite you to explore the ministries of New Hope United Methodist Church tailored specifically for women.
