RETURN TO CORPORATE WORSHIP PLAN

​

The mission of HOPE Community Church is to glorify God by helping people to follow Christ Jesus together. Central to this vision is a deep love for our corporate gatherings. Our ability to meet again is determined, in part, by our governing authorities. The following guidelines will guide our services.

*Please note that these plans are subject to further development, and additional guidelines provided by our governing authorities.

 

Phase 2 Plans

We will continue to provide our online service platforms for those who may not be able to attend in person, or who are uncomfortable attending in person. No one should feel obligated to return to in-person worship before they are ready to do so.

The Governor of California has given places of worship guidelines and recommendations for reopening. Below are descriptions of what to expect based upon those guidelines.
