SERVING OPPORTUNITIES
A significant part of life in Small Groups at New Hope is serving together in the name of Jesus. On this page you will find lots of ways that you can serve as a group, both within the four walls of New Hope, but also outside those four walls. It is a priority for each New Hope Small Group to serve quarterly. Thank you for serving and for showing the love of Christ as you do so! This page will be updated periodically as new opportunities become available.
Local Volunteer Opportunities:
​
​
Adel Mobile Food Bank is an essential service dedicated to bringing nutritious food directly to our community. By providing fresh produce, canned goods, and other essentials, this initiative actively combats food insecurity in Adel.
Our dedicated volunteers are crucial to the program’s success, helping with distribution and raising awareness about available resources. The mobile food bank not only addresses immediate hunger but also fosters community connections and promotes awareness.
This family-friendly event is a wonderful opportunity for groups to serve together, making a positive impact on the well-being of those we assist while connecting with fellow volunteers. We need help sorting groceries and boxing food monthly. Your support will ensure we can efficiently distribute nutritious food to our community. Join us to make a difference!

As we grow in faith, the Holy Spirit moves us to serve others. As the hands and feet of Christ, serving meets the needs of those around us and brings us closer together as a family.

WELCOME HOME

At New Hope, small groups are the heart of our church family. From those young in age to those young at heart, there is a small group for everyone. From new Christian to spiritually mature, there is a small group for everyone. Within our small groups we Love, Grow, and Go as we care and pray for one another, grow as disciples of Christ, and serve in His name.
