We want you to experience a comfortable place to worship God. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;When you come to Hope Springs you’ll notice that we love the laughter and activity of children. We believe that it’s our responsibility to partner with parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles to teach our children who God is. The leadership in our children’s department is awesome. Each week the lessons are age appropriate and active in learning styles. You’re kids will want to come back for more fun!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;We believe in being an active participant in Northern Colorado. We feel it is our privilege to rub elbows with our neighbors. Each year we host a Back-To-School Carnival to give school supplies to hundreds of children. We have the opportunity of having 600-700 attend the Family Fun Day/Easter Egg Hunt and many other community events.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;Hope Springs is a place for every age group to feel comfortable with who you are and what each of us has to offer. If you are tired and looking for a place of rest – welcome. If you are tired of “church” the way you experienced it before – welcome! If you are looking for a place to make a difference – welcome!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;Looking forward to meeting you!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;Pastor Robin Rodgers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;Our Beliefs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;1. Life can be Tough. The Bible is God’s message to all people and is relevant to our lives every day. (Hebrews 4:12-13, Matthew 5 &amp;amp; 6 Speak of helping the needy, dealing with worry and other issues)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;2. God wants to have a relationship with each one of us personally (2 Corinthians 13:14, Genesis 1:1)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;3. Jesus Christ is the son of God. Jesus offered himself as a sacrifice for the sins of all people and that is his free gift to each of us if we believe and accept it. It’s called “salvation” (Romans 5:1, John 3:16-17)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;4. Celebration in Worship – Church is a great place to find out more about God! Join us as we sing, laugh, pray, cry and learn the word of God together. (Acts 2:42-47, Hebrews 10:25)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;5. The Holy Spirit helps us trust in God, teaches us how to live, and is part of every Christians being. (Acts 1:8, John 14:16:17)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;6. One of our primary beliefs is that people all over the Front Range need to know God loves them and that God is the hope for their lives. We are committed to bringing this great news to them. This belief meets the challenge of our lifestyle today where we are all to “Go”. Going to others, that is what we are all about. (Matthew 9:35, Luke 9:6)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Our Mission&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;ENCOUNTER ==&gt; ENGAGE ==&gt; EMPOWER&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Making a genuine difference in life by...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;1. Living what we believe &amp;amp; teaching others that God is the hope for our lives&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;2. Loving people unconditionally&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;3. Walking the path of life together&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;4. Experiencing God&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hopespringsabout.blogspot.com/feeds/8997589107618545748/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hopespringsabout.blogspot.com/2009/12/hope-springs-is-place-to-hang-your-hat.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7334096582790645072/posts/default/8997589107618545748'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7334096582790645072/posts/default/8997589107618545748'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hopespringsabout.blogspot.com/2009/12/hope-springs-is-place-to-hang-your-hat.html' title=''/><author><name>Hope Springs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09433849144647129880</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
