From weekend worship to a thriving Kairos college ministry, and so many things in between, there’s a place and way for you to connect at Hope Iowa City! Whether you live nearby, are visiting your favorite University of Iowa student, or are in town to take in a Hawkeye sporting event, we would love to have you join us for worship!

Hope’s 2024 Year-Long Theme

A Church After God’s Own Heart

Join us for weekly worship as we continue our journey through our year-long theme, A Church After God’s Own Heart! Weekly sermons challenge each one of us as Christians, and together as a church family, to think about how we might become closer to God and discover the purpose of life this side of heaven!
