Connecting at Hope in the Valley begins with our Journey classes, a structured yet warm pathway designed to help you move from a visitor to a vital part of our church family. Journey 1 serves as our primary New Member Class, where you’ll share a meal and fellowship while learning about our mission, core beliefs, and how we function as a body of believers. It’s the perfect environment to ask questions, meet our leadership, and discover how your unique story fits into the larger work God is doing in the Hemet and San Jacinto valleys.

Beyond the classroom, true belonging happens through consistent fellowship and active service. Whether you’re grabbing coffee during a mid-week gathering or joining one of our ministry teams, we believe every member is called to contribute their gifts to the community. From greeting newcomers at the front door to serving in our care ministries like Celebrate Recovery or helping with our children’s puppet ministry, there are countless ways to put your faith into action. By taking that first step into a Journey class and finding a place to serve, you’re not just joining a church—you’re finding a family where you can grow, be encouraged, and make a lasting impact.
