Close Info WindowOpen Info Window
Each person entering the New Hope doors will be greeted by a friendly face…someone prepared to give direction and  answer any questions you may have.

And, for those with children, safe and secure services designed just for little ones are available.  As you enter the worship center, ushers will welcome you, hand you our information-filled weekend worship guide and direct you to your seat.

Then…sit back, relax and enjoy the service!

What is a weekend service like?
Close Info WindowOpen Info Window

Whether it is your first time at New Hope or you've been
attending for years, you never know what to expect during
our services. From the moment you walk in the door until
the moment you leave, we are committed to a creative,
compelling, challenging presentation of God's truth.

Pastor Van Brooks (aka PV) communicates in a way that
speaks to today’s culture focusing on how to apply Christ’s
teachings to our lives so we each can experience God’s
incredible purpose every day.

The phenomenal music wraps the weekend message in a
relevant way with an amazing diversity of artists and styles
chosen for one purpose—to prepare your heart for what
God has in store.

As a guest, you will NOT be expected to
participate in the giving portion of our service.
However, if New Hope Church is your church
home, then we ask you to be faithful to God’s
work in Effingham, Illinois by reaching the lost,
 hurt and disconnected.

What style of music should I expect?
Close Info WindowOpen Info Window
New Hope's view of music is that it fits within the grander
scope of the fine arts. It is our belief that churches worldwide
have forgotten that at one time the church was THE place to
go to see the arts expressed as glory to God.
It is our intention to take back the arts.
