Music Ministry
The Hope Praise Band seeks to achieve several goals each Sunday morning. One goal is to foster an environment that encourages the people at hope to focus their attention on the awesome wonder of our Lord. Another is to present a welcoming atmosphere for visitors where contemporary worship music greets them, while presenting the love of Christ in song. The music ministry also seeks to provide an opportunity for those that God has gifted with musical ability, to give that ability back to God and in turn, be a blessing to Him. The band rehearses each Wednesday night and plays every Sunday morning and at regularly scheduled "Friday Night Live" concerts.
