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!

What’s Happening at Hope Local Iowa City?
In addition to weekend worship, Hope Local Iowa City offers Kairos for college students, REVIVE for young adults, a women’s Bible study and Alpha periodically.
Kairos is Hope’s college ministry that meets on Wednesday nights at 8:00 pm in the Danforth Chapel on Iowa’s campus following the University of Iowa academic calendar. Wednesday nights involve a service with worship, a message, discussion time, fellowship and occasional social events before or after the service. Kairos also offers a variety of small group Bible studies throughout the week that dive deeper into that Wednesday’s message.
REVIVE is Hope’s ministry for young adults in their 20s and 30s. In Iowa City, this ministry functions as a small group every other week after Sunday service that discusses that morning’s sermon. We also get together about once a month for an additional social event.
