The purpose of Adult Ministries is to open doors to the Divine for adults seeking spiritual and personal development.
A committed pastor and lay leadership plan for Bible studies, interest-oriented seminars, speaker's forums, and small groups that
help to make you feel at home at New Hope UMC. There are traditional Sunday morning classes that meet every Sunday, classes during the
week and special events centered around Advent or Lent. We look forward to having you become part of our program and welcome your ideas

Bible Study
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 7:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary.
Children's Ministries
Just as Jesus did, we welcome children to the ministries of New Hope United Methodist Church. At New Hope, children are an active,
vital part of our church community. For information about becoming a volunteer contact the
Children's Ministry Director.
Children's Time
Children of all ages are welcome at the 9:00 a.m. worship service. The Children’s Sermon is a highlight of
every worship experience as the Pastor creatively engages our imaginations and our hearts by inviting all children forward to learn
with the Children’s Time teacher.
College Ministry
College Ministry is part of the overall New Hope United Methodist Church Young Adult Ministry.
Family Ministry
Family is a large concept at New Hope United Methodist Church. By 'family' we mean the traditional family and, also,
the family of Christ. We are all members of our church family, and we do a lot of things any family does. We take care of each other,
we eat together, we work together, and we have fun together. Throughout the year we enjoy several family events and programs that
strengthen fellowship and family bonds among all family members. Our families are made up of grandparents, parents, siblings, children,
aunts and uncles. Many of us have step-parents, half brothers and sisters, and step-children. We are single, married, divorced and
widowed. In other words, there is a place for you in the New Hope United Methodist Church family.

Men's Ministries
The ministry of men in New Hope UMC is a core group of men, partnering with the pastor, to invite and initiate
spiritual growth opportunities for all men of the church. The focus is not inward, concentrating only on those who
attend a set meeting, but outward to all men, assisting them to engage the process of spiritual growth.
Missions
The congregation reaches out in dozens of ways to its neighbors in New Hope, the Carolinas and all over the world. We seek to be the
hands and feet of God in so many ways. There is a place for all to serve.
