A year into being an "official" church, New Hope is growing deeper. There is a widening sense of purpose and identity emerging in the congregation, a sense that there is more to what God has in store for us than just meeting on Sunday mornings. God is stirring individuals to ask discipleship questions such as "What does God want from me?" and "What is my responsibility in helping the whole church grow?" as well as "How can I be a true disciple, one who follows Jesus, instead of just being a pew-sitting Christian?"
