Join the Team
Jesus invites us to invest our time and talents, as an act of love, for the benefit of others both within and beyond the local church we belong to.
Whether you’re interested or have been personally invited to join the team at NewHope, this page will outline everything you need to know and do to come onboard as a team member. This process is a reflection of our commitment and obligations to the health and safety of children, vulnerable people, and our church + local communities.
