Sunday Morning
Our Sunday morning services are casual and family friendly. People who have felt unwelcome or uncomfortable elsewhere have commented that our space is practical and inviting. Special needs children and adults are offered any help that we are able to provide (though our facilities are not yet ADA compliant). Families that haven't had a lot of experience in a traditional church can easily fit in without finding our services foreign or unnatural.
Casual Community Conversations
Our doors open at 8:30 am on Sunday morning. There is hot coffee, hot water, cold water and powdered beverage mixes available. The worship team sets up and runs through the morning set and people gather in different spaces to catch up with friends.
Morning Prayer
At 9 am, a few gather in the Conversations Room, down the hall toward the Social Hall, toward F Street. This is a time of quiet and purposeful prayer for the service, for the people in the church, the community in which we live.

Worship Service
At 10 am, our worship service begins with a few announcements followed by community singing. The songs are familiar to anyone who knows traditional hymns, or who listen to HOPE 107.9 or KLOVE radio.
Song lyrics are displayed on an overhead screen. Even those who don't wish to sing may also participate through dance, waving flags, or just listening quietly.
Teaching or Presentation
The central components of most church services is the teaching or "sermon". This is presented by a speaker, most commonly the senior or lead pastor, who shares one or more aspects of how the Bible offers meaningful insight into the way that we live.
The teaching usually lasts between 20 and 30 minutes.. See what we've been talking about on YouTube.
Our Children's Ministry
Available from 10:30ish (at the conclusion of the worship time) until the end of the service.
Serving the children and families in our community is much more than just providing space and alternative activities for busy kids. Our children's ministry is developed from a program called, "Godly Play," which purposefully exposes children to lessons from the Bible in a way that helps them understand and apply to their own personal circumstances.
Plan your visit
We want to make your first experiences at Ignite Hope as easy and comfortable as possible. A lot of times, people find that they have questions that they didn't realize they had until they begin to see the church and talk about what the church is really all about. That can, sometimes, be overwhelming as strangers are coming and greeting you while you take everything in. That's why we offer a "Plan Your Visit". This can be a digital or physical meeting that you can schedule with someone who can give you a tour of our building and answer any questions you may have.
