We’re so excited to invite you to a special weekend retreat from Friday, November 7th to Sunday, November 9th!  This will be a refreshing time to step away from the busyness of life, draw closer to God, and deepen relationships within our community.  Together we’ll worship, connect, and create space for spiritual renewal.  We hope you’ll join us for a weekend that brings us closer to God and to each other!

We’re excited to welcome Pastor Craig Okpala as our guest speaker for this year’s Fall Retreat! Pastor Craig was the Worship Pastor of Hope Astoria for several years before being sent out by our church to plant Hope Jersey City as their Lead Pastor.  We’re looking forward to the encouragement and insight he’ll share with our community during this special weekend.
