Music

In our Music Ministry at New Hope Church, we desire to provide high quality music that enhances our times of worship by being Christ centered, uplifting, authentic, and engaging! In addition, our mission is to equip our people to use their wide variety of gifts to glorify God and edify the body of Christ.

New Hope is blessed with a variety of musical groups and ministries. For more information on any of these opportunities, contact Christine Loy, Director of Music, at 614.766.5445 or loy@newhopeworship.com.
