Ministry Teams

Interested in getting involved at Hope Church?

One way to connect and make new friends is through serving. Our desire is to help you volunteer in ways that bring you energy.  Please take the spiritual gift analysis to help align your talent with a ministry team. Volunteering can be as simple as handing out bulletins on a Sunday or assisting our youngest members in our Nursery. If you choose to call Hope Church home, we invite you to join a ministry team and make service a part of your worship!  To request placement on a team, please email us! email

    Serving the community right here in San Antonio is important at Hope Church.  Our Outreach efforts often link together with other ministries such as the youth group and small groups in an effort to give everyone the opportunity to serve and love the people of our community. Hope partners with Blue Print Ministries to assist people of San Antonio who need a helping hand.  Hope participates in supporting the SS American Memorial which is a military outreach for wounded warriors and veterans.
