LifeNet small groups are gatherings that meet regularly- usually twice a month- that provide an opportunity to make friends, be discipled, grow spiritual disciplines and make a difference in the lives of others. LifeNets are led by 2 members of HCC with up to 10 participants. LifeNet is the best way to be relationally connected at HCC. Healthy LifeNet groups reflect the mission, vision and core values of HCC.

No problem; Some LifeNet groups are designed to include children accompanying parents or other caregivers. Please discuss your childcare needs with your LifeNet leader.
Make friends and personal relationships “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care”
We are meant to do life together, support one another in walking with Christ, and believe God’s best to be seen in our lives. We believe that community is built through authentic relationships. LifeNet provides an intimate space where members of HCC bond and grow together.
Discipleship
“There is no success without a successor”
LifeNet exists to give us a safe place where we can develop - help others to grow- in order to witness and make new disciples. LifeNet encourages participants in groups to grow into leading groups.
And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. - 2 Timothy 2:2 NKJV
Spiritual Disciplines
“Personal devotion to Christ produces a powerful spiritual life resulting in healthy relationships, families and marriages."
LifeNet exists to advance the Kingdom of God and is an important part of HCC. LifeNet makes a kingdom difference in the lives of all participants. Participation in LifeNet does not replace regular Sunday church attendance. LifeNet is meant to provide a safe space to grow and develop relationships to support your spiritual growth on a personal level.
Soul Winning
“The heartbeat of heaven longs to rescue unsaved people.”
LifeNet welcomes participants to bring friends or guests who may be unsaved to attend their group. The heart of HCC beats with the heart of heaven: "there is more joy in heaven over one sinner’s rescued life than over ninety-nine good people in no need of rescue (Luke 15:4-7).” HCC encourages all members to reach out to others who are need of God’s love.

Hope Healing House
Hope Healing House
At Hope Christian Church (HCC), the Hope Healing House offers two unique ministry formats for effective healing: Issue-Focused Ministry and Thorough Format Ministry. Based on the model pioneered by Chester and Betsy Kylstra at Restoring the Foundations (RTF), these ministries help you find freedom and grow into the image and stature of Jesus Christ.
Often, there’s one major issue that stands out—something that everything seems to hinge on and brings us trouble. Through it all, you may feel ashamed, fearful, angry, regretful, or confused. Perhaps the issue flares up only in certain circumstances, environments, or relationships. It may have been ongoing for years. The Hope Healing House Ministry Team is here to help.
To schedule a personal ministry session, please complete this form and a member of our team will contact you. We offer ministry for men, women, and couples. If you’d like ministry for your minor child, please indicate their age in your inquiry.
Issue-Focused Ministry
In Issue-Focused Ministry, we concentrate on the primary issue causing trouble in your life. Through prayer and biblical truths, you and your healing ministry team will identify how the four spiritual sources of our problems (generational curses, ungodly beliefs, soul/spirit hurts, and demonic oppression) interact to inflame your issue. Together, you will listen to God’s counsel and apply His direction to bring the healing Jesus Christ purchased for you on the cross.
The session lasts about three hours and is customized to your unique situation. In those hours, God can profoundly change your life by addressing the root causes of your burden. This is the starting place for those seeking inner healing, deliverance, or a deeper walk with God.
Thorough Format Ministry
For some, there may be multiple issues at play, and it can be not very clear to understand how they’re connected. Thorough Format Ministry offers a systematic approach to reveal patterns, cause-and-effect relationships, and deeper spiritual roots. This ministry spans 15 hours of sessions to address each of the four sources of our problems thoroughly.
The experience begins with a three-hour session where we get to know you and allow you to clarify the issues and history in your life. The following four three-hour sessions each focus on one of the four spiritual sources, offering deep healing and freedom. Throughout the process, you’ll encounter God personally, gaining healing and the tools to maintain your freedom. This is a life-changing journey led by the Holy Spirit.
HERE'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...
"Although my husband and I have been married for many years, we thought we were too old to make changes. Through RTF ministry, we discovered there are no limits to what God can do when we yield to Him. We found out there were generational blessings being held up because of sin and curses we hadn't repented from. We had been speaking ungodly beliefs over ourselves and our marriage, not realizing we were in a demonic cycle. Now, we’re freer than we’ve ever been. I’m married to a different man, and my husband is married to a different woman. We are continuously being freed, little by little. I thank God for Hope Church and for RTF Ministry." – Anonymous
"I found out about RTF Ministry in April and signed up right away. Over the years, I lost confidence in myself, especially in the job market. I had passed up opportunities because I felt unqualified. My ministers helped me discover the root of my anger toward my parents, guided me through forgiveness, and provided declarations from Father God. Now, I’m more confident in myself and finally able to move forward with my life." – Anonymous
"As a pastor's kid, I grew up with limiting beliefs from a strict upbringing. Through this ministry, I realized my parents did the best they could, and I’ve learned to heal and trust God with my life." – Anonymous
"Shame was a tool my father used to control me, and I had unknowingly used the same methods with my children and grandchildren. After receiving RTF ministry, I realized this, and I even opened up to my granddaughter about my own abortion. It led to a conversation where she shared that she had also had one. Because of my healing, we broke the generational curses in our family." – Anonymous
"Issue-Focused Ministry has repaired my soul. For years, I battled condemnation and trust issues. I believed my highest calling was disqualified because of my past struggles. Through ministry, I received peace and freedom in my relationship with God. Trust issues that stemmed from seeing family members cheat on one another have been replaced with the love of God. I can now love others freely and see their pain through a lens of love, not fear. Ministry helped me let go of ungodly beliefs about my past church experience, and I know now that God’s plan for me isn't over." – Anonymous
