Kid-Munity

We can always use a few extra hands with the elementary aged kids. There are all kinds of opportunities that can fit in your schedule. Whatever time you have to give, whether large or small, we can find something for you to do that will help to change kids' lives! Contact Robin Jones for more information.

J.A.M.

If you like to smile and sing with the youngest of our children, J.A.M. (Jesus and Me) is the place for you! J.A.M. is our early childhood department where we show God's love and teach the simplest truths of our faith to the little ones. If you have never experienced the joy of seeing little faces smiling and hearing little voices singing praise to God, you've got to get involved with J.A.M.! Contact Robin Jones for more information.

Mobile Team

The mobile team is responsible for getting our trailers to Chicago Christian, unloading all of the equipment, and setting it up so that we can "do church" every Sunday morning. Without the mobile team, there would be no church service, no Kid-Munity, no J.A.M. (our nursery), there would be nothing. You don't need to be able to lift a thousand pounds or push a cart full of tables to be on the mobile team, there is something for everyone to do. You can choose to set up before first service or tear down after second service, whichever is more convenient for you. Contact Robin Jones for more information.

Greeters

All you need is a smile and a hand! If you can say, Good Morning! and We're glad you're here!, you can be a greeter! These faithful people are the first face that people see when they come to HOPE on Sunday morning. They are the ones who make the first impression and help lay the foundation for the message the people will hear that morning. If you want to prepare people's hearts for worship and hearing God's Word, become a greeter! Contact Robin Jones for more information. (ext 224)

TNT

If you would like to build relationships that could change a teenager's life, then TNT is for you. Whether slopping a junior higher with a water balloon, or praying quietly with a senior higher, you can have an impact on these kids. We are looking for people who will be willing to come out and build relationships - become friends - with our teens. You don't have to have all the answers, you just need to be able to listen! Make a commitment to help with the teens! Contact Bobby Moss for more information. (ext 225)

Office Assistants

You may not be able to help on Sunday morning, but you have time to give during the week. There are many times that we need an extra pair of hands around the office to help with all kinds of things - mailings, answering the phone, you name it! If you have time available during the week and you would like to help with the nuts and bolts of ministry - the behind-the-scenes stuff that really makes HOPE tick, then get involved at the office! Contact Robin Jones for more information.

Technical Team

The goal of the technical teams is to amplify the message and remove distractions. The technical teams play a pivotal role in people actually hearing the message that God loves them and wants a relationship with them. Without the sound ministry, no one would hear the message. Without the people running the lights, the camera, and the computer, people would not be able to see the message. If you can't preach but you want to help tell others about the saving power of Jesus Christ, the technical team is the place for you. If you enjoy listening to music and are not scared by things with lots of knobs and dials, you might make a good sound person for the weekend event. We also need people to record the services on video tape and run the lights. We need people to run the computer that projects the words to the songs and the outline of the message onto the screen. Contact Robin Jones for more information. (ext 280) 

Music Teams

The goal of the music teams is to create an environment where people can become worshippers. Obviously, this is primarily referring to the weekend services. We use music and scripture readings to create an environment where it is easy for people to worship.  Auditions take place on an as needed basis. Contact Hope Office for more information.

The International Student Friendship program (ISF)
