Finding community can be a challenge and sometimes knowing where to start can be tough. Meetups break the tension between strangers by bringing people together around a common interest. Meetups are fun and casual events hosted by YOU, the people of Hope Church. Meetups offer an opportunity for connection through casual gatherings, shared meals, studying the Bible, serving the community… any number of fun opportunities exist to connect with people who like the same things you do. Whether it’s hiking, reading, painting, or eating tacos—anyone can host a meetup centered on something they love doing. You can host one by yourself, with a friend, or even as a Community Group. To get started hosting a Meetup, click HERE. To see upcoming Meetups, click HERE.
