Ministries
FOOD DISTRIBUTION
One of the desires and goals of City Hope Fellowship is to reach the city with the love of Jesus Christ. Every 3rd Wednesday of the month we as a church give out food to the people of the community and share the gospel of Christ with them. The service is totally dedicated to giving back to the community that we serve. We feel that giving physical food is not enough, so we also give spiritual food in the form of a short message. This ministry has been serving the community since 2002 and we have seen many people come into the Kingdom through the ministry of the Word and the showing of love.

HAND UP
We at City Hope Fellowship realize that "man does not live by bread alone". That's why we've created Hand Up. This on-going ministry is devoted to meeting needs other than food. In the brief time that we've extended this service to others we have seen several families blessed with good used items, such as: car seats, beds, clothes, furniture and other items.
All items we receive are clean, gently used and donated by families from the community, church and other organizations. We then match needs with items available. What a blessing to touch lives in this way! We only ask that all items remain at the donor's house until we have a need for them as we have no storage available at this time.
For volunteer opportunities, please see the position(s) below:

FIRE GENERATION YOUTH MINISTRY
Youth today do not face the same struggles that teens did even 10-15 years ago. Because of the trials they have to go through as they grow into adults, City Hope Fellowship has developed a ministry for youth called, Fire Generation. Fire Generation has meetings, trips to amusement parks, camping, cookouts and an annual event called Generation Conference (GC). At GC teens/young adults from the Tri-State area meet to regroup spiritually, build lasting relationships with others and develop a deeper relationship with God. For more information on Generation Conference, click here.
Fire Generation meets on Wednesdays at 6:30 pm. All youth are welcome to attend (ages 12 and up).
CITY KIDZ CHILDREN'S MINISTRY
Children's ministry is a very vital and essential part of ministry at City Hope Fellowship. Pastor Jodi Huson and her team of dedicated children's workers strive to create a place where children can come to have fun and to enjoy the Word of God. Our goal is to train and disciple children so they can make the right choices in life. Those choices should be for Jesus. When children come they can expect to participate in active worship, learning about God and His word, and always having fun! We offer a Sunday morning children's church at 11:00 am and a Wednesday night outreach called, "City Kidz" for children in grades K-5 at 6:30 pm.

WORSHIP TEAM
Kristopher Mays - Worship Leader
As you can see, we're a different kind of people here at City Hope Fellowship (CHF). That difference is heard in our worship and praise, as lead by Kristopher Mays. The CHF Worship Team meets every Sunday for prayer. Then at 9 AM and 11 AM, we sing songs like you may not have ever heard. If you think all Christian music is the same, then think again. Come on out and hear what you've been missing!
