The Service
Our Sunday service is about 90 minutes. We gather for worship, engage with Scripture, and celebrate the Lord's Supper (communion) every week.
Worship
We sing a mix of old and new songs that are theologically rich and emotionally expressive.
Scripture
Every sermon is anchored in the Scriptures. We believe it's the living Word of God — trustworthy, relevant, and powerful.
Community
Sunday isn't just a service — it's a gathering. We linger after because relationships matter.
Kids
Hope Kids runs during the sermon for ages infant through 5th grade. Children are always welcome in the main service too.
Common questions
Good questions.
If you have a question we haven't answered here, reach out — we'd love to hear from you.
Ask us directlyWhatever you're comfortable wearing.
Yes — free parking is available behind the 4H building and across the street in lots outside the Schottenstein Center. Look for Hope Church parking signs.
Hope Kids is available for infants through 5th grade. It's a safe, fun environment with age-appropriate Bible teaching.
Absolutely. Skepticism is normal and doubt is expected. You won't be given weird looks, simplistic answers or pressured to believe anything.
A mix of ancient hymns and new songs are played on various instruments — this can mean acoustic guitars, electric bass, piano, and/or drums depending on the worship team that week.
We're part of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC) — Being "presbyterian" means we are elder-led and connected to other churches. The word "evangelical" has taken on a life of its own, but it comes from "evangel" (which means gospel, or "good news"). The EPC is committed to unity in essentials, liberty in non-essentials, and charity in all things.
