Hope Is Here

In a world where despair often feels louder than hope, we believe God calls us to something greater. Hope Is Here! is a 7-week sermon series rooted in the belief that hope is not wishful thinking—it's a spiritual practice, a justice-centered calling, and a communal force for transformation.

Guided by the work of theologian Luther E. Smith Jr.*, each week invites us to explore a new dimension of hope through scripture, worship, service, and community. Together, we’ll confront what makes hope difficult, discover where hope lives in the margins, and practice hope as resistance, healing, and joy.

 

Whether you’re questioning faith, craving connection, or looking for a better way forward—come as you are. Hope is already here. And it looks a lot like us, walking this journey together.

 

* This series is inspired by the book: Hope Is Here! Spiritual Practices for Pursuing Justice and Beloved Community Book by Luther E. Smith
