Discipleship Pathway
BELONGThe first step along the Discipleship Pathway is to Belong. Belong means that adults and children are baptized and participate in the worship at Hope. For children, HopeKids—our children’s ministry—is another essential aspect of belonging.
BELIEVE
The second step on the pathway is to Believe. This is how we grow in our faith together. For youth, our Middle School Ministry helps shape what we believe. For adults, we encourage people to join a Rhythms of Hope small group where we learn and begin putting our faith into practice. We also invite adults to take part in our Deeply Rooted course and podcast to grow our understanding of the Holy Scriptures.
BE LIGHT
The third step along the way is to Be Light. Our High School ministry encourages young people to follow Jesus’ teaching: “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16). In the same way, we invite all adults to find at least one place to serve. This might be within our hospitality ministries, worship, or children and youth programs. It may also be in outreach where we meet people on the margins of life as Jesus did and give ourselves away—serving as Visitors, Chaplains, or alongside our ministry partners for the larger community and the world.

Ways to Grow Your Faith
No matter where you are on your journey of faith—whether you’re seeking, questioning, or deeply rooted—we welcome you with open arms, just as Christ welcomes each of us. We have a place for you to grow, to learn, and to walk together in love and truth. We believe in the power of community, and in the promise that when we gather in His name, He is here among us.
“For where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am among them.” — Matthew 18:20

Prayer Cross Ministry
Meets Monthly on the Second Tuesday – 6:30-8:30pm
We are a ministry of men & women who want to spread the love and good news of Jesus Christ. Each month, our group of wonderful individuals get together for some cross making. If you love the smell of sawdust, working with your hands and enjoying good conversation and fellowship, this would be for you. It doesn’t matter whether you come once or every time, nor does it matter if you cut one cross or five thousand. Each and every cross makes a world of difference to whoever it finds a new home with. This is a very special ministry. We get to hand out faith, hope, and love one cross at a time.
Feel free to join us anytime! We meet monthly on the second Tuesday, 6:30-8:30pm. For more information, email adults@fargohope.org

Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to hear Paul preach in Corinth, stand in Athens where he proclaimed the Gospel, or sail the waters that carried the message of Jesus throughout the ancient world?
I would love for you to join me on an unforgettable journey through Greece as we walk in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul. Together, we’ll visit many of the places where Paul preached, encouraged the early church, and faithfully shared the good news of Jesus Christ.
One of the things I look forward to most is sharing this experience with our church family through daily devotions, meaningful conversations, and moments that deepen our understanding of God’s Word and His ongoing work in our lives. As we stand in the places where the pages of Scripture come to life, we’ll have opportunities to learn and grow our faith together through worship, reflection, fellowship and prayer.
I hope you’ll consider joining me on this inspiring journey.
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Stefanie Jordheim
