HC Groups are a place where you can grow with others

We believe every person is created with God-given potential to make a difference in the world. HC Groups are a place where you can grow with others to become more like Jesus and reach the potential God has put inside you.
‍
As group leaders, our goal is to create a small group environment where authentic relationships can be formed so that people can find freedom and take the next steps in their faith. Below you will find the steps you can take to become a HC Group Leader and become a part of what God is doing at Hope City.
