New to Living Hope?

WELCOME!


The thought of visiting a church can be intimidating. We hope the actual experience is more like spending time with the multi-generational extended family you've always wanted. Check out the video below for what to expect on Sunday.

DETAILS

TIME

Sundays at 10am


LOCATION

38 West End Avenue near the intersection of Sound Beach Ave and West End in Old Greenwich (where the fire station is). Park anywhere in the church lot. Handicap parking is available on the right as you enter the lot.


WHAT TO WEAR

Whatever you like. You'll see everything from shorts to suits.


WHERE TO GO

Enter through the bank of white doors up the broad steps.


WHAT ABOUT MY KIDS?

Nursery care is provided for children ages 0-3 at the end of the hall on the right (Room 105). Older children start out in the service with their parents for the songs, then go to age-appropriate classes with their teachers. 


Middle/High School kids will start in the sanctuary and will go to the youth room to meet with Jordan!


FORMAT

Our worship service typically lasts an hour, and includes worship songs, a message, and several prayers. We project the words for the songs on screens behind the band. Bibles are provided in case you don't have one of your own.


MUSIC

Music ranges from worship songs you would hear on the radio today to hymns Christ-followers have loved for hundreds of years. The band usually includes keyboard, bass guitar, classical guitar, violin, drums, and three or four singers.


COFFEE HOUR

Coffee Hour is held most Sunday's following the service.  Occasionally there is food and  we often have gluten free options. This is a great chance to meet some new faces and catch up on the week.


"We recently moved to Connecticut and were looking for a new church home. From the moment we entered the church, we were welcomed and made to feel so comfortable. It's great to be part of an active church community, with members of all ages, that actively pursue the true living hope we have in Jesus!"

-Mark & Bonnie
