/// We Gather Together
We respond to God’s grace in worship by offering our whole lives back to Him (Romans 12.1-2)- this includes our finances. We encourage all who consider DH their church home to practice first fruits giving (give first and live on the rest). You can place a check “Downtown Hope” or cash in our offering box today or give online at www.downtownhope.org/give. Your generosity goes to extending God’s grace to our city through the people and work of Downtown Hope. You can find our financial updates on our giving page.
What if I have never given before? A simple way to begin is by committing a small percentage and increasing each year. The 10% pattern of offering in the Old Testament is a helpful mark to grow towards.
Do you enjoy coffee? Do you have the gift of hospitality? Are you just look for a low risk way of getting involved on a Sunday Morning. We are looking for people to get involved helping set up coffee and tea on Sunday mornings. Please reach out to Jen Healy (jen.healy@downtownhope.org).
The worship team will be gathering at the church for a family meal after the third gathering. If anyone is interested in joining the sound or music team, please feel free to join us!
RSVP: Andrea Sim (ajoymcp@gmail.com).
The first simple step to consider being known in our church is to attend one of our Discover Downtown Hope orientation lunches on the first Sunday of every month. Here you will have a chance to hear our vision, ask questions and get to know some of our leaders. You can RSVP online or contact David Bempong (david@downtownhope.org).

All Gatherings
Child dedication is a way, before the Lord and the church family, to dedicate our children to the Lord and commit to raising them in the way of Jesus, that one day they too might profess faith in Him. At Downtown Hope, we support this idea and provide opportunities twice a year for child dedications.
