You are welcome, safe, and loved here

We are a multiracial, multi-generational, progressive community that welcomes, affirms, and celebrates all of God’s people.

HOPE United Church of Christ is a progressive Christian voice that welcomes diverse people for reflection and action. We work to express our love as Jesus taught: by loving God, neighbor, and self. We unite personal faith with social justice, prayer with peacemaking, and spirituality with action.

Worship Services

We meet most Sundays at 11:30 AM at Bethany of Fox Valley United Methodist Church in Aurora.

At HOPE, worship services inspire both discussion and action beyond the pews. Our time together motivates us to live out the Word of God in our daily lives, our families, and our communities.

Continuing Education

For our elementary-age HOPErs, we host Kids Quest during worship service; teams of instructors utilize the A Joyful Path curriculum for stories, activities, games, and more!

For adults, we host Adult Quest, a participant-led exploration of a variety of topics and/or current events. Discussions examine these topics and considerations through a lens of “What does it mean to be a progressive Christian?”
