Step into Leadership: Discover, Develop, Deploy

At New Hope, we believe that leadership is more than a title—it’s a calling to serve others and make disciples who live out the mission of Jesus. That’s why we’re launching our Leadership Learning Lab, a transformative experience designed to equip, inspire, and empower leaders like you to step boldly into your God-given calling.

What is the Leadership Learning Lab?

The Leadership Learning Lab is a practical, hands-on training experience for current leaders and those who feel called to leadership. It’s your opportunity to grow in understanding our new mission statement, Know Jesus, Grow Faith, Go Multiply, and our discipleship strategy of Discover, Develop, Deploy.

Through this lab, you’ll gain the tools and insights needed to:

• Discover how to lead others to find hope in Jesus.

• Develop your own faith and the faith of those you serve.

• Deploy yourself and others to make disciples in your homes, workplaces, and communities.

Who Should Attend?

• Current Leaders: If you’re leading a small group, serving on a ministry team, or actively guiding others in their faith, this training is a must for you.

• Future Leaders: If you’re feeling a nudge to step into leadership, this is your chance to explore what that looks like and gain confidence in your calling.

Event Details

• Dates: Choose either January 19 OR January 26

• Times:

  • 11:00 AM in the Sanctuary

  • 12:00 Noon in the Social Hall (includes lunch!)

Each session will cover the same content, so pick the time and date that works best for your schedule!

Why Attend?

At New Hope, our mission to make more and better disciples begins with our leaders. The Leadership Learning Lab is not just another meeting—it’s a vital step in ensuring we’re aligned as a church family and equipped to carry out the vision God has placed before us. Together, we’ll:

• Build unity among leaders.

• Gain clarity on the mission and discipleship process.

• Cultivate practical tools for effective leadership.

Ready to RSVP?

Let us know you’re coming by [Insert RSVP Link/Email/Phone Number]. Don’t miss this chance to grow in your leadership and make 2025 the year you step into all that God has for you.

Closing

Leadership is not about doing everything on your own—it’s about being part of a community that supports, equips, and encourages one another to live out the love of Jesus. Whether you’re leading now or ready to take that next step, the Leadership Learning Lab is your opportunity to grow and make a lasting impact. We can’t wait to see you there!

Announcing Our New Series – Mission Ready! Starting January 12

Get Mission Ready in 2025!

As we step into a new year, it’s time to align our hearts, minds, and lives with the mission God has given us. Starting January 12, 2025, we’re excited to launch our brand-new sermon series: Mission Ready!

Series Breakdown

Week 1: Discover – January 12

How can we Grow Faith?
Building on the foundation of knowing Jesus, we’ll discuss how to deepen our relationship with Him and with others through intentional prayer, discipleship, and a lifestyle of service.

Week 3: Deploy – January 26

The final step of discipleship is taking what you’ve learned and sharing it boldly with the world. We’ll explore what it means to step into your mission and live out your faith to impact eternity.

Stocking the Shelves for Neighbors

Christmas at New Hope – Stocking the Shelves for Hope for Her and ECHO

For the last fifteen years, New Hope has been involved in the Gift of Hope, a partnership between ECHO and area churches to provide food, gifts, and spiritual support to needy families during the Christmas season.  Over the years, fewer churches have participated and the bulk of the work has fallen on a smaller group of churches while need in our community has increased.

This year, our Gift of Hope team, which consists of representatives from ECHO and several North Brandon churches, decided to make a shift.  With less participation and feeling the strain from the two recent hurricanes, the team decided to take a hiatus from Gift of Hope in 2024.  Each participating church will now lean into whatever they feel God calling them to do for this season.  Next year, we hope to come back together with a renewed sense of energy and passion to empower local families during the holiday season.

At New Hope, we feel like the greatest need right now is food. We have families in our community that are feeling the crunch after the storms and the increased cost of food is not helping.  Thus, during November and December, we are stocking the shelves at ECHO and Hope for Her.  Instead of gifts, we will be collecting peanut butter, jelly, pasta, spaghetti sauce, ramen noodles, cereal, canned fruit and vegetables, basic toiletries, and $10 gift cards to help families purchase meat.  Our goal is to literally restock the shelves for our local mission partners who have been feeling to pinch of increased grocery prices and increased need.

6th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting

We look forward to seeing you at New Hope's 6th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting! Join us Friday, December 6th, 2024, at 7:30 PM in the New Hope sanctuary for a time of worship, we will then transition outside for the tree lighting. Take a break from the hustle and bustle to discover the true meaning of Christmas.

Enjoy free hot chocolate, cookies, and live music by the Eastern Hillsborough Community Band's Big Band! Let's come together as a community to create lasting memories and celebrate the joy of the season!
