The order of a person’s Next Steps at New Hope are not set in stone, but here is a brief overview of what we encourage each person to experience in their journey here.

A person may also sense God’s “call” to full-time church or missions ministry, and we attempt to foster that in every person who feels this pull on their lives.

In any case, it is our privilege and honor to fulfill Ephesians 4:11, to see you equipped to do the work of the ministry in the church and in the world we live in!
