Healing Conference
Registration 5:30pm - 6pm | Conference 6pm - 9pm
What does it look like to be healed?
What does it mean for our Heavenly Father to speak truth in the inner places?
We are humbled to host our own Bishop Ben Fischer to lead our inaugural healing conference. Bishop Ben has extensive experience in creating space for the Spirit of truth to speak to our stories and reorient us toward himself. There will be times of teaching and prayer as we gather together.
*Guests are both welcome and encouraged to attend this one night event.
**There will not be childcare at this event. Children are welcomed, but we desire to create a space free of distraction, so plan accordingly.
Bishop Visit
We have an incredible weekend planned for when Bishop Ben comes. It includes: Friday night healing conference, Saturday ordination, Sunday worship. This is a great weekend to visit if you don't regularly attend Christ Our Hope and a great week to bring a friend along.

Family Camp

What is it? Every year, our whole church family goes away for the weekend to build relationships, have some adventures, and grow in our knowledge and love of the Lord. From Friday afternoon until Sunday morning, we have fire pits, games, swimming, and time unhurried time. Together. This year Family Camp is at Inspiration Hills. It is open to anyone - even if you are not a regular part of our common life. Our goal is always 100% of our community, so we are eager to help make that happen.

This year, we'll do it at Nathan and Jennifer's alongside a backyard hang! Come as you can! Bonfires, hot dogs/sausages, s'mores, yard games, fellowship!
Pentecost Party
This is one of the highlights of our life together. Every family unit is encouraged to bring a gift to share. In the past, people have sung a song, read a story, shared original poetry or stories, made stained glass, brought pottery, done a skit... you get the idea. This is one of the great times we have. Stay tuned. The theme this year is ALIVE.
