WORSHIP
WITH US!
Looking for great liturgy done in a contemporary style? That’s us. Worship services include songs/hymns, readings from the Bible, and prayers. We celebrate the family meal of communion every week.
TRADITIONAL
BUT HARDLY
CONVENTIONAL.
On the outside, we may look fairly traditional. On the other hand, we proclaim a radical inclusivity, are ready to break the rules when they don’t make sense or aren’t helpful, and just might do things in church that aren’t usually done. God’s Spirit calls us to be creative in our worship time! Church doesn’t have to be boring!

FAQ.
ABOUT IN-PERSON WORSHIP
-
What do I wear?
Dress is casual. Come as you like. Most wear shorts and flip-flops; others like to dress up. It’s completely up to you.
​
-
What time shall I arrive?
Arrive right when worship is scheduled to begin or come 15 to 20 minutes early. We begin our morning with a time of fellowship around coffee and lite snacks. In that casual setting, we make our introductions and share announcements. From there we move over to an adjacent space and after a time of “centering,” continue with worship.
​
-
Do I have to give?
No. Anyone who attends worship either in person or online, or comes to a Bible study or another event, is considered part of River of Hope – completely and fully. Giving financially is not a requirement to be part of our faith community. Nonetheless, several but not all of our folks, do give generously as a way of responding to God’s love and grace and in support of our mission/ministry. Others who have no financial means to give, discover other ways to offer themselves to the work we do together.

What about membership?
We’re not sure we believe in membership. Membership draws lines between those who are on “the inside” and those who are peripheral and we’d rather not do that. All who are part of River of Hope have equal status, voice, and vote.
