Thrive

Thrive is a lively weekly ministry where women of all ages come together for connection and bible study. Thrive meets Thursdays during the school year from 10 to 11:30am. You can come every week or any week! We have already prepared a place for your friends… bring them anytime!

Why Thrive? The “four Cs:”

Connections: a place to meet and grow in relationship with other women, from all stages in our journey. Community: a place that feels “like home”…our environment is warm, casual and friendly…you can come as you are! Our group is an open environment…we will always have a space for you. Content: a place that offers you real nourishment for your soul through sound and relevant biblical teaching. Care: a place to care for your heart. Our meetings are structured with discussion time in table groups each week, so that we might spur one another on as we walk together in the joys and challenges of life.

What’s Thrive like?

We spend about 1/3 of our time getting to know each other over coffee and snacks, or maybe listening to another’s personal stories, 1/3 our time hearing from Hope’s own teachers, 1/3 of our time in table group discussion. There is no homework or preparation required. While we follow a theme for the semester, each week is structured to stand independently, if you need to miss a week. Please, consider attending consistently, so that friendships and spiritual growth are given the best opportunity to develop.

What about my children?

We also desire to serve even our youngest friends through our preschool ministry called Sprouts. You will rest easy knowing that your children are well cared for in Sprouts. They will hear about God, but more importantly, experience the love of God through our dedicated and passionate children’s staff. Sprout’s co-ordinator is Laura Pruitt.
