WE CREATED THIS PAGE FOR YOU to give you some basic information about our church and activities. We understand that you likely have some questions about our church before visiting so these are the questions most frequently asked by other guests. If you still have questions not addressed here, feel free to call our office at 252-946-6185 or email us at info@HopeChurchWashington.org. We would love the opportunity to connect with you.
Why should I come for a visit?
Hope Church is growing in numbers and ministries, but most importantly, we’ve been growing spiritually. We believe that relationships are important for our community, and we offer many opportunities to connect with others. We’ve made many changes over the last few years, and we continue to adapt in order to provide a welcoming environment for you and your family. Come for a visit and see for yourself!
Who are the pastors?
Pastors Kyle and Stephanie Miller lead our church. They are transplants from Texas. You can find more about them on our leadership page.
Where are we located?
We are west of the downtown Washington, NC area, on Hwy 264, next to Enterprise Rent-a-Car. The address is 2029 West 5th St. (Hwy 64).
What are the service times?
Sunday morning worship, kids church, and nursery all happen each Sunday at 10:35 am. We recommend checking in your children or babies by 10:25 am to allow yourself time to prepare for morning worship.
On Wednesday nights, we have Bible study for adults in the sanctuary, a girls program (Ranger Girls), and a nursery, all located in Building 2. We have a boys program (Royal Rangers) in the FLC (Building 3), and the youth meet in Building 1.
What are your main services like?
We have lively worship services that incorporate a live band leading an energetic blend of traditional hymns and choruses and contemporary music. We encourage people to sing, clap their hands, or worship in a manner comfortable to them. Pastor Kyle brings a message that is biblically based and relevant to the Christian faith today. Oh, we encourage our guests to dress casually. Suits are allowed, but so are jeans and even shorts (as long as modesty prevails). The bottom line: We just want you to join us.
What kind of activities do you have for my children?
Every Sunday morning we have an energetic kid’s church program called NXTGen. It is located in the Genesis Building (Building 1), and is designed educate and enhance kid’s understanding of the Bible and faith through an interactive and fun environment.
How do I know my children will be safe?
Good question! Each leader in our various children’s ministries and services is subject to a criminal background check. In addition, we only allow church members to be involved as leaders in these ministries, so only the people we have gotten the opportunity to know personally will be caring for your children.
Do you have a nursery or area for nursing mothers?
Yes…both! We have a nursery that is ready to for you and your baby. Located upstairs in the Worship Center (Building 2), our nursery staff is ready to offer friendly and capable service to allow you the freedom to worship worry-free. If you are not comfortable leaving your baby, we understand, so we have a separate room set up for you to change diapers or nurse. Services are provided via video feed so you won’t have to miss a thing.
Do I have to give my personal information?
No, you do not. We do ask that you share just a small amount of data with us so that we can connect with you and your family better, and to let you know about events and activities in which you may want to become involved. Rest assured, your information is not shared with other parties.
Do I have to give an offering?
No, you do not. We offer several avenues in order to make the giving of tithes and offerings easier for our church family. And, while we believe in the importance of giving back to God a portion of the blessings he has given us, your giving is optional. All offerings are tax-deductible.
Are your beliefs Christian?
Absolutely! We are part of the General Council of the Assemblies of God, the largest Pentecostal fellowship in the world. You can find out more about our beliefs on our beliefs page.
