WE ARE THE CHURCH.

1 Corinthians 1:30

What to expect

What happens on a Sunday?

We worship God together, hear His Word taught, and care for one another, gathering with a holy regard for God.

Who leads the church?

Hope Alive is led by Pastor Joseph Arreola, with a leadership team serving alongside him. If you have a question on Sunday, any of them will be glad to talk — or write to hopealivechurchoc@gmail.com any time.

I am new: where do I start?

Just come on Sunday at 4:30 PM. If you would rather talk first, send a message through the contact form below and tell us a little about yourself. And if Sunday feels like a big first step, join The BOOK OF online some Monday or Tuesday night, no preparation needed.

How do I stay in the loop?

Follow @hopealivechurch on Instagram for what is coming up, and ask on Sunday about joining our church family group on the BAND app, where announcements and prayer needs are shared during the week.

The BOOK OF

Reading the whole Bible, together, one book at a time.

Six years in, and still going. The BOOK OF began in Genesis, and the church has been reading its way through Scripture ever since, learning, together, how to read the Bible and understand it properly.

Each session is thirty minutes on Google Meet, led by Pastor Joseph. We read the passage aloud on screen, notice what it actually says, and ask questions as we go. You do not need to read ahead, and you do not need to have all the answers. Questions are the point.

We’re in the book of Hebrews.

Mondays & Tuesdays · 8:00–8:30 PM · Google Meet · No preparation needed.
