Weddings

A couple exchanges vows with a minister in the wood-paneled church chancel.

In a service of Christian marriage, a lifelong commitment is made between two people, publicly witnessed and acknowledged by the community of faith.

The church facilities are available to couples who agree to follow our wedding policies. Pastors of House of Hope preside at all ceremonies.

The Memorial Garden

A stone bench overlooks lawn and flowers in the Memorial Garden.

The Memorial Garden in the Garth provides a space for House of Hope members to remember loved ones whose cremated remains have been interred there. It is a sacred place for contemplation and a connection between generations.

To inquire about reserving a space, contact Rev. James D. Cochrane or call (651) 223-7553.

Baptism

A minister baptizes an infant beside the baptismal font, with family members nearby.

Baptism welcomes people into the community of faith. House of Hope celebrates baptisms of infants and children as parents promise to nurture them in Christian faith, as well as baptisms of adults who profess their faith.

To ask about a baptism, preparation for families, or arranging a date, contact Jimmy Hoke, Director of Children and Family Ministry, or call (651) 223-7547.

Facility use

Church facilities primarily support church-sponsored events related to the congregation’s life and mission. Space may also be available to other nonprofit organizations for educational or benevolent purposes or community benefit, when it does not interfere with church programs.
