There’s No Party Like a Jesus Party Sermon Series

All too often people associate going to church and following Jesus as a boring, uneventful and watered down way to do life. That couldn’t be further from the truth! Join us as we continue our yearly theme A Church After God’s Own Heart, and take a look at the joy that comes from following Jesus. There’s no party like a Jesus party!

New to Hope Ames

If you’re new to Hope Ames, we’d love to meet you! Join us for Sunday worship at the Ames City Auditorium and be sure to swing by the New to Hope area in the lobby. You can learn more about the opportunities to get involved, connect with others and grow in your faith.  

Yearly Theme: A Church After God’s Own Heart

Ten sermon series over 12 months that challenge each one of us individually as Christians, and collectively as a church, to consider how we might draw closer to God and discover the purpose of life this side of heaven. Join us as we focus in on the four “G’s” Gather, Grow, Group and Give – and live out God’s calling for us both individually and as a church family!
