Women's Ministry

Sisters in the Spirit (SIS), New Hope's Women's Ministry, helps women encourage one another through spiritual friendship, mentoring, sharing, and study. Women of all ages are invited to participate. Our events include bible studies, retreats, get-togethers, mission work, and plain old "girl time." Join us for fellowship, growth, and fun!

Women's Bible Studies

New Hope offers several Bible Studies designed for women. This fall our women's studies include:

  • Beth Moore's study on David - discover why God will never give up on you!
  • Raising daughters - how do you counteract the negative influences of today's culture?
  • Jesus - who was he, where did he come from, and what was his purpose?

For a complete list of fall studies, or to sign up for a class, visit our Adult Classes page.

Women's Retreat

Each spring New Hope holds a Women's Retreat. Dates and information for our Spring 2012 Retreat will be announced soon. Have any ideas or suggestions? All women are invited to participate in our Women's Retreat Survey, whether or not you've attended our retreats.
