Places to serve
A great way to get connected to the New Hope community is to serve in one of our ministries, and we'd love to help you get plugged in! New Hope has several ministries for you to serve in, depending on your spiritual gifting. A spiritual gift is a special ability, given by the Holy Spirit to every believer at their conversion, to be used to minister to others and therefore build up the Body of Christ. If you don't know your spiritual gifts, or if you want to learn more about your spiritual gifts, check out our spiritual gifts page.
