Every worship is filled with great musicians and the Sunday school teacher(s) for kids ministries are always working with heart & love to serve the communities. The hospitality team always provide special/unique bakeries & treats that will bring smiles to your family every Sunday. Few brothers & sisters in HopeSB also participated in Team World Vision (TWV) to bring clean water to needy communities (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn2jMkP3uM8) as well.

We started going to Hope Church 2 years ago. Although, I was skeptical due to past experiences, I…read morewas open to trying it out. We are so blessed that we did. It has exceeded our expectations and our two little ones love the youth ministry. They ask mid-week when it's church day. Hope states that ALL are welcomed, and it is so true. It is a non-judge mental or pushy church that is open to anyone regardless of where you are in your spiritual journey. The leaders are so approachable and available for discussion if needed. We are proud to call ourselves members of Hope Church.

This place is church for people who hate going to church…read more Awesome place to attend particularly if you want no part of attending a church, had a bad past church experience, or are being dragged by a significant other, spouse or friend. It has a kick butt kids programs, and seems to have many athletic people who attend. Its biblically based without all the wacky stuff. The pastor is a super cool every day easy to relate to guy. He provides a powerful message and has developed the kind of atmosphere where you don't feel judged. Its the kind of place for imperfect people to meet other imperfect people and try and do life together. Worth checking out. At the very worst, you're out an hour of time and you"ll have a few laughs when the pastor Jon Ireland speaks. Not to mention he'll get you to think, without doing any thing thats just straight weird. Check it out!

San roque was not the first choice just in impressions, mainly due to lack of a large parking lot. Church was surprisingly nice and clean. Very spacious and the people inside were really welcoming and nice. This church is very organized and everything goes down fast and efficiently. The sermon went by quickly and entertaining while keeping to the point. Really enjoyed this church! Forsure will be back if the chance arises.

I was petrified they had destroyed it . I was so relieved to see it was in tact . As far as Mass, it's in the same state of disrepair that it has been for 50 years . I did attend the daily Mass by the Salesian , who is leaving , and I was really surprised in a food way . I've attended the Sunday Mass several times and it's sheer chaos . I pray for the pastor . There's an overabundance or extraordinary ministers and deacons but that's par today . There have been those who have complained about it not being welcoming . I get that . There seems to be a one-sided welcoming environment. The standard disorder is omnipresent , people lifting up their hands every 3 seconds ; standing when they should be kneeling and the music is very "Me" oriented . Unfortunately this is all a result of the grave lack of catechesis in the last 50 yrs . That's why I don't want to hear anymore about the lack of understanding or reverence for the Eucharist . That education needs to come from the priest . As does the appropriate direction for the Mass . I doubt that is going to happen unless they get another associate . It's the clericalization of the laity and the laication of the clergy . Please don't believe there are no priests . I know of several religious order priests who'd come to OLS eg. VI , FSSP, CM .
