Hope Church

About this church

Hope Church in Kalamazoo begins Sunday worship at 10 a.m., with a typical service lasting about 65 minutes. Visitors can expect a band-led mix of newer and older theologically focused songs, prayer, and a message, with both expressive and quieter styles of participation welcomed. Dress is comfortable rather than prescribed, and coffee, tea, cocoa, and lemonade are part of the hospitality. The congregation describes itself as a varied community in age, interests, and background, with the aim of making newcomers feel like family whether they enter the building or join online.

Children's programming is organized by developmental stage. Infants and toddlers, three- and four-year-olds, and preschool or kindergarten children have separate Sunday environments with check-in before worship; activities can include Bible stories, crafts, music, free play, and snacks. Hope traces its beginning to 1947 within the Reformed Church in America. Its mission is expressed as loving Jesus, living like Jesus, and leading others into relationship with him, supported by prayer, Scripture, worship, hospitality, and service across the street and around the world. Families will benefit from allowing extra time for age-group sign-in; anyone else can sample the music and teaching through Hope's online service.
