Back to Church

Third New Hope is a metropolitan church. We have members who live all over the Detroit community and the near suburbs. The need for secured parking have continued to increase as the numbers of members grow. God is blessing the ministry with people from every walk of life. We are diverse and represent a variety of occupations and neighborhoods. We celebrate!

One of the challenges with being a metropolitan church is seeing significant numbers of people dropping out of active ministry. With time we experience the absence of dear members who mean so much to the life of the church. There are times that absence begins with one Sunday, then two, then more...before long a person becomes inactive and allows something else to fill the place in their life that worship once filled.

Whatever the reason, we are actively looking for those who have become inactive, or who for some other reason no longer attends church. We are inviting people Back to Church! What can be more important than an active life of faith and worship? What can help people more than regular fellowship with a community of believers in Jesus Christ?

Join us in reaching out to everyone you can. Let's extend both our hands to those who really need an invitation to return to church. I have started my list, and it's growing! Please start your list of people you know who are no longer attending church. Begin by praying for them and then, when the time is right, extend that invitation for them to come to church with you. Your invitation can make all the difference! Back to Church Sunday, September 12; 8, 10 or 12 noon.
