PLANNING YOUR VISIT WITH US
We gather every Sunday at 10:30am for coffee, conversation, and goodies at 167 Buckingham Street in the beautiful town of Oakville, CT. After a brief time of getting to know one another, we enter into Family Worship at 11:00am. We understand that stepping into any new environment for the first time can be a little intimidating. This is just as true of a church as it is of anywhere else. For this reason we want to give you an idea of what to expect when you come. We hope you’ll find the New Hope church family to be just that … a family. We laugh often, talk a lot, make mistakes, share life, and grow together. We have many diverse interests and personalities, but what we have in common is Jesus Christ.
We invite you to come as you are, observe, and participate however you are comfortable.
We’ve heard visitors describe a Sunday morning worship gathering as “a compelling spiritual journey.” Sounds about right; we’re not trying to ‘wow’ you. We are seeking to be authentic and heart-felt as worshipers of King Jesus.

WHEN YOU ARRIVE
When you arrive you’ll see a sign at the church entrance on Buckingham street. You can park on the side of the building in the parking lot adjacent to the church building. Please enter through the side entrance up the concrete steps.
When you enter the New Hope Building you’ll be greeted by someone who will direct you to our fellowship time before service. When our casual gathering is through, you will be encouraged by someone to enter our sanctuary and they will hand you a bulletin listing the order of the morning’s service. If you have children, this greeter may show you the New Hope kids’ rooms.
At this point feel free to grab a seat anywhere in the sanctuary. Then simply make yourself comfortable until we officially begin the service at 11 o’clock.
