  • How are Christmas Eve services different than a normal church service?

    Christmas Eve services are pretty much the same as our regular services, but with a bit of extra Christmas spirit. You can expect festive decor, a time of worship, and a special Christmas message—all totaling about 60 minutes.


    Each Christmas Eve service is the same, no matter which campus, day, or time you attend

  • What should I wear?

    Come dressed how you see fit. Some people may be more dressed up for Christmas, but most people are dressed casually and you’re certainly not expected to dress up.

  • Is there Kids programming?

    Yes, at all of our services our HopeKids ministry is having a Birthday Party for Jesus! This is for birth-5th grade at both campuses. We’re super excited for what’s in store for the kids!


    If you’d like your kids to stay with you in the adult service, that’s ok too- but HopeKids will be super fun!


    Cambridge Campus:

    When you walk in the main doors, take a left around the front desk and you’ll see the check-in desk. If you need help, just grab one of the greeters wearing a badge and they’ll get you where you need to go!

    Isanti Campus:

    Kids check-in is located downstairs. If you need help, just grab one of the greeters wearing a badge and they’ll get you where you need to go!

  • Am I expected to give money?

    Nope! There’s no requirement or expectation for you to give, especially if you’re new.

    We will be having a special Christmas Offering, but you’re not obligated to give financially.


    100% of the Christmas Offering will be donated to New Pathways, the local homeless shelter. New Pathways has been an official partner of New Hope for many years and we’re excited to bless those families in need during the holiday season!


    God was very generous in giving us His Son, Jesus. In response, we take advantage of opportunities for us to be generous to those in need.

  • Is there a Christmas Day service?

    No, we don’t have any Christmas Day services. Our Christmas Eve services on the 23rd & 24th are our big celebrations. Have a Merry Christmas!
