New Hope United Methodist Church

About this church

New Hope United Methodist Church near Sidney gathers for in-person worship Sunday at 10:30 a.m. and streams the service on Facebook at the same time. Worship blends traditional and contemporary music with an emphasis on proclaiming the Word. Most attendees dress casually, though formal clothing is also welcome. Children are invited forward for Sermon on the Steps, and nursery care is available for infants through age three.

Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month and is open to all. Outreach ministries and support for Jackson Area Ministries connect the rural congregation with practical service beyond the sanctuary. The church publishes a protection policy for children, youth, and vulnerable adults, giving families insight into its safeguarding expectations. Visitors can watch online before attending and should review current events for occasional services such as blessings or seasonal celebrations. The clear 10:30 schedule and relaxed dress guidance make planning a first Sunday straightforward.
