Sounding Hope

Gold bell with ringing sound effects with Sounding Hope centered around it.

There are moments in worship when words fall short – and music carries us the rest of the way. At House of Hope, music is not an addition to our faith but an expression of it. For generations, music has lifted hearts, strengthened community, and drawn people closer to God. 

Through worship, choirs, handbells, concerts, carillon, organ recitals, and opportunities for musicians of all ages, our music ministry enriches both congregation and community. Each year, thousands experience beauty, comfort, inspiration, and connection through music in our sacred spaces. Through Hope Arts Center, these opportunities extend beyond worship to engage in both congregation and broader audiences in music and the arts, bringing new people through our doors and strengthening House of Hope’s role as a vibrant community gathering place. Whether in worship or beyond, these programs create opportunities to encounter one another- and God’s presence.

MUSIC REACHES PEOPLE: 

Music reaches people in ways words alone often cannot. At House of Hope, our music ministry does more than develop singers and musicians- it builds community, deepens faith, and offers encouragement during life’s most challenging seasons. Time and time again, participants tell us how meaningful these programs have been in their lives.

THE IMPACT EXTENDS:

The impact extends far beyond those who perform. Each Sunday, people arrive carrying burdens that others may never see and find comfort, hope, and connection through music. A familiar hymn, a moving anthem, or a moment of shared worship can remind us that we are not alone. 

YOUR SUPPORT MAKES IT POSSIBLE:

The choirs, instrumentalists, and special music programs that enrich worship depend on the generosity of this congregation. Your support provides music, instruments, and rehearsal resources, and the dedicated leadership that makes these ministries possible.

AN INVITATION TO GIVE:

When you give to House of Hope, you help create a community where people find belonging, encouragement, and hope. Through music and worship, lives are touched every day. We invite you to support this ministry and be part of what God is doing through House of Hope.

A Message from our Senior Pastor and Head of Staff, Rev. Dr. Scott Jones

Dear Friends, 

There is something holy about music. From the earliest pages of Scripture to the songs we sing together on Sunday morning, music has always been one of the ways God’s people express faith, find comfort, and experience God’s presence in a profound way. 

At House of Hope, music is not simply a part of our worship; it is worship. It is the sound of our congregation lifting its voice as one. It is the anthem that carries a grieving heart through a difficult season. It is the first thing a newcomer hears when they walk through our doors, and often the moment they feel they have truly come home. 

That is why I am so glad to introduce you to Sounding Hope. Through this campaign, we are inviting our church family to invest in everything that makes ministry here possible, highlighting the music that gives our community its voice. 

Your gifts sustain the musicians, the programs, and the moments of beauty and meaning that unfold here week after week. Whether someone finds comfort in a melody, courage in a lyric, or the strength to return on a hard Sunday, all of it is made possible by the generosity of people like you. 

I want to invite you to prayerfully consider a gift to the Sounding Hope campaign. You can give by mailing a check to our church office or by giving onlineEvery gift, at every level, makes a difference. 

Thank you for being part of this community, and for helping to keep hope sounding loud and clear. 

Yours sincerely, 

Scott
