Welcome to NewHope Groups!

We believe that NewHope Groups is the front door to community at NewHope Church.

Growing in your relationship with Jesus is much more fun when you're surrounded with people who have the same goal. Each semester opportunities for friendship, connection, bible study, building healthy marriages, leadership development, and mens and womens groups are availble to you!

We understand that life can be unpredictable and being a part of a NewHope Group is an important step in your personal discipleship journey. Jesus says in Matthew 18:20 “For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.”

To foster commitment and unity within our NewHope Groups, all participants will be asked to sign a covenant. This covenant is a shared agreement that each member commits to being an active part of the group for the entire semester. You can preview the covenant here. We appreciate your dedication to this meaningful experience!

Christians are taught in their churches and schools that prayer is the most powerful way to experience God. But few receive instruction or guidance in how to make prayer genuinely meaningful. In his book Prayer, renowned pastor Timothy Keller delves into the many facets of this everyday act. Keller offers biblical guidance as well as specific prayers for certain situations, such as dealing with grief, loss, love, and forgiveness. He discusses ways to make prayers more personal and powerful, and how to establish a practice of prayer that works for each person.
Each participant will need to purchase the book " Prayer: Experiencing Awe and Intimacy with God" by Timothy Keller. The group meets bi-weekly on Monday's at church.

Men of New Hope

14 spots open

God’s Word is clear about the importance of godly friendships — and how God designs them to complete us spiritually. If you ever hope to win the battles you face in your spiritual journey, you must be connected to godly men. The problem is that many men today act as if they don’t need friends — and they’re paying the price. Risking relationships is not easy for men, but it’s non-negotiable for God’s man. When you stand with others who share your spiritual goals, you achieve them faster. That’s God’s way. Godly friendships create consistency, provide care and support, stimulate healthy confession, produce new connections, and make you complete in Christ. They produce positive changes in your character, convictions, conduct, and commitment to do life God’s way. Join us for this 9 week group and discover all that God has for you in the season ahead!

Quality Time with God: Prayer and Solitude Practice

13 spots open

In an increasingly distracted and noisy world, we need solitude more than ever. The practice of solitude mimics Jesus’ rhythm of retreat and return: retreat from people and distractions to be with God, in order to return to community in love and service. Prayer is simply the medium through which we communicate and commune with God. The practice of prayer is learning to set aside dedicated time to intentionally be with God in order to become like him and partner with him in the world.
We will use the Prayer and Solitude Practices from John Mark Comer Practicing the Way courses from the RightNow Media . Each participant will need to purchase two books: "The Prayer Practice: Companion Guide" by John Mark Comer and "The Solitude Practice: Companion Guide" by John Mark Comer.

Managing Anxiety: Yours & Theirs

13 spots open

Reactivity is contagious. It spreads within us as individuals until it becomes unmanageable, and it spreads like wildfire between people. Reactivity keeps us from encountering deep peace and freedom and it causes relational damage and stuck patterns. But it doesn’t have to be this way. With some careful observation, diagnostic tools, and practical habits, you can learn to flip the power dynamic and move from being managed by anxiety to managing it. You can lower reactivity in yourself and others and displace your anxiety with peace. You can be calm, aware, and present.
Anxiety carries a message that keeps you stuck and trapped, but you can learn to notice when you are living by that message of anxiety and replace it with a true belief of freedom and peace.
This group meets on Tuesday's at the church. Each participant will need to purchase the study guide " Managing Anxiety: Yours and Theirs, Group Study Workbook, Faith-Based Edition" by Steve Cuss on Amazon.

In Every Thought Captive by Kyle Idleman, we will explore a topic crucial for our spiritual growth: the battle for our minds. This isn’t a study on the power of positive thinking—or how you have the power to change your life—but about learning how God made your brain. He will transform your life as you learn to take every thought captive and submit it to the truth of his Word. You will need to bring your Bible and study guide: https://app.rightnowmedia.org/en/content/details/920259. The group meets on Wednesday nights at a home in Cary. We will also participate in a NH Missions serve experience and a fun experience. When signing up for the group the leader will respnd back within 24 hours via email to confirm your attendance and commitment to the group.
The group meets for 9 weeks and begins on Wednesday, 9.17.
